Katharine Gun brit hírszerző feladata a minősített információk kezelése. 2003 egyik napján Gun egy emlékeztetőt kap az NSA-tól, amelyben az áll, hogy az Egyesült Államok a britek segítségével kompromittáló adatokat gyűjt az ENSZ Biztonsági Tanácsának tagjairól, hogy megzsarolják őket annak érdekében, szavazzanak az iraki invázió mellett. Gun nem tudja tétlenül nézni, hogy a világ egy törvénytelen háborúba indul, és kiszivárogtatja a levelet a sajtónak. Az ügy hatalmas politikai botrányt kavar. (HBO Europe)

Another small big film that didn't get an Oscar nod and international fame just because a few years before the similarly conceived Spotlight did with an even juicier topic. The fact that most politicians lie, manipulate, and steal is such an unexplored and generic theme that it can easily earn minus film points even in such a very well staged procedural with GoT actors and a great Keira.

Let me get this straight: the Russians are the bad guys and Western "democracies" are the good guys. And then someone decides to make this treacherous film that maliciously stabs all the declared unshakable values in the kidneys. The best approach is to keep relying on your common sense. The film didn't bring any great revelations. All the wars for freedom of the oppressed citizens fought from across the Atlantic look the same, have similar consequences, and whoever has a problem with them will be trampled underground. At least most of the time. But I'm glad the creators decided to draw attention to this issue with such a well-made film with a great cast, and I really enjoyed it.

A well-crafted film about a case directly related to the 2003 invasion of Iraq by American and British troops. Keira Knightley gives a very convincing performance as the plucky spy Katharine Gun, giving a very convincing performance while looking physically and mentally very exhausted, which is necessary to portray this role. Also worth mentioning is the structurally unified musical score, which manages to maintain the dramatic tension practically throughout the entire film. (75%)
