    ★★½

    I’m still not fond of this movie, primarily as it takes one huge dump on the source material; twisting the actual twist of the story ruins the message. Also shaky cam gives me motion sickness.

    Such a neat and stylish thriller. I’ll reserve the right to give a higher rating upon rewatching this film, and there will be rewatches for sure. 

    George andCatherine are a power couple in one of Britain’s intelligence services. Yet it becomes George’s job to find a traitor, and Catherine is a possibility. 

    While this movie actually does have gun shots and explosions it could so very easily do without them and not lose an ounce of impact. The question of the movie is not so much on who watches the watchmen, but how to spy on spies.

    An exceptional gripping movie, as the traumatized victim of systematic torture, sees her chance of getting revenge on one of her tormentors. 
    I can’t say who is giving the better performance, Sigourney Weaver as Paulina or Ben Kingsley as Doctor. Polanski certainly got more than his moneys worth.

    Tubi continues to present me with Western I never heard before of. This is one of those very interesting movies. Joel McCrea as the new judge, firm in his opinion to bring justice to a town where everything is owned by the Bannerman's. So bringing Tom Bannerman to jsutice comes with it's very own challenges.
    John Carradine is absolutely fantastic as slimy, prosecutor, firmly owned by the Bannermans.
