Friday: briefly; in British Intelligence there is a mole in the agency and it is down to George Woodhouse [Michael Fassbender:] he is a very capable individual to take care of the situation, even though it may involve his wife Kathryn St. Jean [Cate Blanchett:] she also works for the same agency and individually they are top class at their professions.

Generally speaking: the framework and pacing of this 94 minutes film is; well it is excellently designed, but also problematic as in I get on one hand; firstly we have this day by day divided and also what they were trying to do, by making it atmospheric and melodic; it brings a level of intensity to the film in particular to the dialogue exchanges, but on the other hand if it goes on for too long without a change of gear; you do run the risk of putting your audience's to sleep, which very much happened in my case; hence why I said it was excellently designed, but also problematic.

Art and action; so to assist/compliment this atmosphere we have the set designs, costumes and accessories; it is a very clean and tidy as to illustrate the effects of working in this lifestyle of the action I saw which wasn't much [I may as well be honest about it.]

Character developments and performances; these character developments are all good, but it does take this cast of performers to bring them to life, as they are all somewhat damaged by this career choice; I would have really possibly enjoyed this film and consequently gave it a much higher mark if from time to time this film had a bit of get up and go to it, but as I have already referenced I get what they were trying to do as well.

This film receives: 3/10, this film is poor; I just found it really difficult to stay awake to watch this film at the cinema, I am sure the other person I watch some of this content with wouldn't mind saying, this individual also had difficulty staying awake throughout this film. Don't get me wrong if you like either/and Blanchett or/and Fassbender take a look at this film, but keep in mind what I have already said.
