Despite solid performances, a slow first half takes away from this otherwise effective drama about an IRA sympathizer whose life becomes more complicated after she's coerced into spying for MI-5.

A respectable political/psychological suspenser, but not a wildly entertaining or enjoyable one.
June 27, 2013
It's absorbing, intelligent and sad.
June 13, 2013
These are characters for whom true belief in a cause has probably become impossible; they know how much that costs. Marsh does a compelling job of illustrating that for the rest of us.

By the end, the film shows not only the power of this influence but also its terrible price in an often merciless conflict.
December 27, 2013
Plays slyly with noir; adroitly twists and turns away from easy expectations in its final minutes. This thriller's got one sharp, savage ending. Marsh takes a black-eyed stare out from the gravestone-gray, waning days of the Troubles.

The film relies on terse dialogue and boggy colors to create an atmosphere dense with anxiety -- all well handled by director James March.
June 13, 2013
[Riseborough's] work is indrawn and riveting. It's hard to read the look in her eye, but we never stop trying.
November 19, 2013
The acting in this film is very good. The plot is lean and powerful. It is pretty depressing, but it seems true enough in its depiction of this troubled period of history.
June 14, 2013
A tautly minimalist, occasionally generic study of betrayal and family ties.
December 16, 2013
A grim but measured and intelligent art-house slow-burner.
June 13, 2013
This British thriller by James Marsh is a little too neatly scripted and tightly edited for my taste, but there are galvanizing performances from Andrea Riseborough... and Clive Owen.
