Closed Circuit
is about as grim and pessimistic a view of governments and spy agencies as you’ll
get at the movies, but don’t be fooled by the adverts that tout its having the
same producers as Tinker Tailor Soldier
Spy. That was a smart, taut, realistic, and pleasurable spy thriller. This
is a derivative of every other spy thriller with the exception of an ending
that doesn’t have us cheering star Eric Bana as the hero and champion of truth
and righteousness.
