The East

It’s best, perhaps, to just accept the movie on its dramatic terms, as a reasonably gripping thriller about the dangers of deep cover, anchored by a terrific actress on the brink of stardom.

Well-acted and suspenseful, with a great deal of editorial content, this feels a little awkward and earnest...

...a sleek thriller clogged by its noble message – heads south. It becomes sanctimonious, makes you contrary.

Med en intressant fråga om moral och en slags thriller-känsla i en oväntad miljö lyckas The East hålla vad den lovar.
