Decent conspiracy thriller with Pierce Brosnan perfect as a Tony Blair style PM, ditto Olivia Stewart as his wife. Ewan McGregor is pretty good too as the hack hired to ghost write his autobiography, and I’m glad to see Kim Cattrall got a strong part in a decent film. It’s not hard to see this as Roman Polanski’s dig at the Yanks. I totally bought that the British PM was CIA agent – I wouldn’t be shocked if they recruit in Australia, too. (It’s a clever use of resources.) The thing is, they often don’t have to bother. Beautifully creepy wind-swept locations. It does go on a bit long.
