Official Secrets

POSITIVES…

  • It’s a whistleblower true story that people should know about.

  • Keira Knightley is pretty solid here, and seemed like she really threw herself convincely into the role of Katharine Gun.

  • As a movie with a huge ensemble cast with limited screen times, a few others like Matt Smith and Ralph Feinnes manage to stand out with their strong performances.

  • I was able to appropriately feel the drama and the tension of this story, and I was quite hooked to see how it all plays out.

  • Needless to say, by the conclusion of the movie, it should give you some interesting food for thought.

  • As a movie based on a true story that I wasn’t familiar with, I was captivated by the plot turns and surprises that was shown in this.

NEGATIVES…

  • If you already know the true story, the surprising plot turns just won’t be “surprising” at all, and kinda deflates those big reveals.

  • The movie is very very straightforward and not really Directed with too much style, which some might argue makes it feel dull.

  • Some people don’t like watching movies where the majority of it are just people talking to each other. Well this is one of those movies.
