Review of Closed Circuit (2013) by Jeremyp — 02 Sep 2013
Another paranoid, conspiracy theory, bad government movie, and a rather dim witted one. If we're going to keep resurrecting this theme let's make it somewhat believable, and vet the plot holes. Bana and McAdams play two attorneys on opposite sides in a terrorist bombing case, which has been deemed too sensitive for open court.
Bana figures out why, how we never know, and he and ex girlfriend McAdams go rogue with MI5/6 in hot pursuit to stop them revealing the "secret which would (of course) bring down the government." It's "State of Play" lite and the intrigue barely simmers at best, and the bad guys win, and the good guys slink off sadder but no wiser.
