All the Old Knives - Reviews

It is the classic Le Carré conflation of three different sorts of betrayal: personal, professional and patriotic.

...an urbane thriller calibrated for slow burns and analog attention spans.

A smart, compelling, pared-down thriller for grown-ups, anchored by a pair of stunningly charming performances from Chris Pine and Thandiwe Newton.

Watching Pine and Newton try and erotically spoon-feed each other bits of bacon while secretly trying to work out if they have to kill each other is more than enough to hang an entire film off.

...a compact, twisty little thing anchored by two leads oozing Old Hollywood charisma.

...tense and well-crafted espionage thriller...

Pine and Newton are excellent as former lovers whose relationship didn't survive a deadly plane attack.

...en meget mere intim og romantisk katten efter musen-fortælling, end vi er vant til fra den klassiske actionprægede spionthriller.

Chris Pine er fremragende i hovedrollen som agenten Henry, men det er Thandiwe Newtons Celia, der stjæler rampelyset.

...er så fortættet og spændende, at det føles som et, langt tilbageholdt åndedrag.

Skuldkänslor ur det förflutna ligger som en skugga över intrigen i det här laddade thrillerdramat.
