Review of Page Eight (2011) by Jim H — 13 Jul 2013
A MI5 agent uncovers a conspiracy that goes to Downing Street and may have caused the death of his best friend/boss.
If you've seen the British version of State of Play, then you've already seen the feel and basic content of this film. This difference is that the conflict in the film has lower stakes, and the conspiracy does not seem as far-reaching and damning.
Bill Nighy delivers another strong, understated performance, like the ones in State of Play and Gideon's Daughter. His work for British outlets seems so much more complex than what he does in American films.
Overall, this film is good, but it's a poor man's version of stronger British political dramas.
