British film initially released on the BBC television network (which was also involved in its production). A spy story set in contemporary times where international political intrigues concerning the subtle ties between the UK and the USA regarding the situation in the Middle East and the international policies adopted by their respective intelligence services are intertwined with elements related to the family and personal life of the main character, agent and analyst Johnny Worricker, portrayed by Bill Nighy. And perhaps it is precisely his performance that keeps this film afloat, which, in fact, seems to leak from all sides, boring the audience, and what appear to be mysteries seem instead to have already been revealed or, in any case, not to interest the viewer at all.
