I'm a fan of the good spook story.

Bill Nighy plays a British Intelligence expert who falls out with his superior(s) and Prime Minister over seceret info...but it's much more a character study and display of great acting. Superbly intelligent (there's no gunplay) and at the same time very gripping. That describes the first film, "Page Eight"; the second film (the one I've drawn) has Nighy on the run in the Caribbean--where he jousts with Walken, Wynnona Ryder, et al. Really enjoyable stuff. One of those very rare pictures that doesn't strain incredulity for the sake of moving their characters thru hoops toward plot goals....

My scanner works faster doing grayscale so that is default for the way I scan.<br />Love that I saw these faces and knew without being told I was looking at Walken and Ryder. I'm going to grab as much Jack Larson/ Jimmy Olson scene chewing off the web as I can this morning.
