In the movie’s most chilling moment, Riseborough passes a doorway on her way from a meeting with Wilmot and sees a gloved IRA operative rolling up a plastic tarp; had she cracked, this is where they would have executed her.

Nail-bitingly suspenseful. Riseborough heads a strong cast and gives a powerhouse performance. It's the best thriller in recent memory.
