Official secret

The film "Official Secrets" is really bold and explores political right and wrong. After leaking state secrets, the female protagonist Catherine was able to speak paranoidly with violent government agencies in the name of serving the country for the people. She was eventually released without charge. The result was gratifying. However, it can be said that the year-long waiting is a real torment. He was monitored, followed, and his husband was almost deported. He may face imprisonment, and his resume has traces of crime. She doesn't back down, just angry with lies. She doesn't reject wars, but she doesn't want to see wars caused by lies. War is cruel, and even a game of chess that is sitting in distress can make people feel the fight of gold and iron horses, not to mention the real war with swords and guns. Modern civilization should be far away from war, just as there should be fewer physical fights between people. Even if the opponent is weak, if the opponent is in a hurry, he will fight desperately, and the strong will naturally suffer damage. But it’s not the people who make the decision later that are killed or injured

    3.5/5 The espionage atmosphere of the first act is quite tight, and overall it is very neat, but unfortunately the ending is a bit too fast. The key court scene at the end thought it would be a fight of words, but it ended in a short time. It’s a pity that the country The machine controls everything. I watched "The Unkindness of the Vice" a while ago, so when it was mentioned in the film that Bushey sent troops to Iraq, I couldn't help but think of the Vice President Dick Chaney hiding behind his back. The director's previous film "Operation Sky Eye" is still better.
