andrea c Action thriller dalle location e dalla trama piuttosto originali, con un buon mix di colpi di scena nel corso della sua durata senza però mai sacrificare, almeno completamente, la credibilità della situazione. I personaggi sono piuttosto monotematici e non offrono grandi spunti, anche i look e i colori non danno grande stacco e lasciano tutto il peso qualitativo sulla sceneggiatura e sulla trama. Fortunatamente quest'ultima regge bene e mostra un'inaspettata solidità per tutta la sua durata, rendendo la visione interessante seppure non vada mai a rubare l'occhio per bellezza o gradevolezza. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/17/25 Full Review Gary B A well-crafted story and well-produced series. Better than the run-of-the-mill thrillers that come and go on streaming services. Craig is good as always and the supporting cast is strong.

After the conference, Papu Rapava, an old man, says that he has important information for Dr. Kelso. In Hotel Ukraine, where Kelso is staying, Rapava recounts in detail how he, as a young security guard in 1953, witnessed the death of Stalin. He saw Lavrentiy Beria steal a key from Stalin as he lay dying in his Middle dacha. Beria and Rapava drove to Stalin's private quarters in the Kremlin and Beria opened a safe. In the safe was a red folder which Beria removed and later placed in a metal tool box at his mansion. He instructed Rapava to dig a hole in the yard in which this box was buried. Believing this folder to contain Stalin's notebook, Kelso sees this as an opportunity to write a book based on the personal writings of the late Soviet leader. He tells Rapava that it would be worth a lot of money and would help Rapava reconcile with his estranged daughter. Rapava leaves while Kelso's attention is elsewhere. The next day, a reporter called RJ O'Brian (Gabriel Macht) turns up and recognises Kelso. Kelso begins his research in earnest, visiting a library to get information and eyewitness accounts of Stalin's death. He engages with a young librarian, Yelena, who provides him with the address where Beria used to live... Brian Gallagher wrote on MovieWeb: "the thriller has something for everyone: The game of Craig, a mysterious story, lively dialogues, some action and romance." This BBC tv-movie from 2005 with a pre-Bond Daniel Craig, is pretty mediocre to my mind. Not all that exicting with a budget and acting of a tv-movie. The film was shot in Riga, a city I have lived in myself for some years, but that works as a substitute for Russia. Daniel Craig, is ok, but the rest of the cast is forgettable. "Archangel" is nothing to write home about. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member So I thought the series was very good and exciting, I don't understand why he has such a bad rating.
