On the run in Europe, former MI5 agent Johnny Worricker (Bill Nighy) returns home to confront the prime minister.

Turks & Caicos and Salting the Battlefield... invite us to consider our own participation in the storytelling, to look past surfaces and think about how and why lies might be told, how identities might be changed or left behind or revisited.

Rated: 8/10

Terrific with dramatic encounters, but less successful with closure, leaving the door wide open for Worricker to return and tend to his scattered life once again.

Rated: B

I found it to be wonderfully sophisticated with a magnificent cast and brilliant dialogue. Individually the installments might not be home runs, but watched in succession they are very satisfying.

< Salting The Battlefield > is part 3 of the Johnny Worricker trilogy (the poster here is part 2 instead, btw). Acting is still good but the story-line is totally non-suspenseful this time, almost boring.

I wish people were as smart in real life as in this movie. But that is the British for you, celebrating the smart not the stupid.

The final installment of the trilogy following Page Eight and Turks & Caicos. Maybe I wanted Johnny to continue his winning and cunning ways but on the other hand Salting shows everyone is vulnerable and we sell out in one way or another. Page Eight is still the best of the three.
