Plot
A GCHQ translator leaks a memo before the Iraq war.
Sinekatalog’s take
Gavin Hood's whistleblower thriller dramatises a real GCHQ leak before the Iraq war. Keira Knightley is strong, and the film is earnest and tense, if more conventional than daring.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
