Overview
When the CIA discovers one of its agents leaked information that cost more than 100 people their lives, veteran operative Henry Pelham is assigned to root out the mole with his former lover and colleague Celia Harrison.
There is a lot to like about this movie: it is nice to look at and there are some actors giving some very good performances. I think the resolution was excellent – when the movie ended I thought about the final few scenes for a while. I wanted to love the movie but I never quite got there. Part of the reason for this might be because much of the movie is flashbacks and that takes some of the “thrill” out of “thriller”. It’s a fine movie but not one of the year’s best.
