Critics Consensus

MI-5 (Spooks: The Greater Good) is a stylish, albeit rather perfunctory, adaptation of a spy thriller perhaps best left on the small screen.

A pretty good action flick with London being attacked by terrorists with M1:5 searching for a traitor in their mist.

I am Dominic, originally from the Philippines, however, I have spent my whole life in the USA and have been an honest man all my life. When I came across a post on how to earn money using trading and mining bots, I felt it was the perfect time to give crypto investment a chance. I contacted the team, and they read out their working terms. I remember investing a total of $38,500.00 with their mining bot but anytime I wanted to access my funds, I was always asked to pay more. Weeks passed and I realized I had been outsmarted and conned. Everything looks real, and that's why even when I was asked by a coworker to contact ( Cybergenie(@)Cyberservices(.)com ( WhatsApp+)(1_2-5_2-5_1203_91), I was skeptical. Getting in touch with CYBER GENIE HACK PRO turned out to be the best thing that has happened to me. I was able to claim all I had invested in their platform within the hours I hired them and met their terms with their help. CYBER GENIE HACK PRO is unarguably the best team of hackers out here on the internet if you ever need a legit hacker for hire..

A bit formulaic and Kit Harrington starts off a bit weak, but Colin Firth carries the cast, plot line, and everything else like a seasoned pro.

I'd have to say embarrassingly awful but I'm really not a good judge because I didn't make it past the 10 minute mark. Very poor stilted, stiff, contrived, cartoonish acting and storyline. Like a bad 40 or 50's spy movie.

It is a good episode of the show... so if you like the show, you'll like the film, but aside from a slightly higher budget, there is nothing more here than you'd expect from the series. I loved the series, so I enjoyed the movie.

There's a surplus of double-dealings, plot twists and international locales to justify the theatrical treatment.

A film that, like most of its ilk these days, is more interested in action than motivation.

Rated: 2.5/4

Film Journal International

A dreary direct-to-video-grade adventure that should have been terminated before it ever began.

One Room With A View

Spooks' pre-exisiting excellence hinders the film somewhat as it struggles to make a cinematic splash; worth watching if you're already a fan, or appreciate fast-paced shenanigans and explosions around London.

Rated: 3/5

CineVue

Will provide a satisfying experience for all who see it, but perhaps more so with ardent fans of the series. The aesthetic, tone and performances result in a package that sits alongside similar Hollywood fare comfortably.

Rated: 3/5

This is James Bond done by Channel 5, with all the tension and sophistication of the Victoria Beckham kidnap plot.
