      dennis m 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. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Thoroughly consistent, good ending. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member < 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. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review simon d Ah haaa. This is the final part of a trilogy I see. That explains a lot. The film was a bit hard to get into which is clear now. I thought it was quite a good film really. I'll have to find the other two parts now. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Chloe Sanders PopMatters 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 Dec 1, 2014 Full Review Brian Orndorf Blu-ray.com 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 Nov 21, 2014 Full Review Read all reviews
