Page Eight Audience Reviews

CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
masterblaster1975 MI5 discovers a political scandal in Britain. As the boss of MI5 dies (natural causes), everybody involved tries to cover his ass. Furthermore, a girl tries to learn the truth about her brothers killing by Israelis. Bill Nighy is perfect as cool old dog. The kiss was unnecessary and implausible.
ramaja-1 First of all, I would like to say that I'm a big James Bond fan ( Daniel Craig is my favourite agent 007 ) and as such fun can say that this is one of the best spy films I ever watched. This film has not much in common with guys who seek for justice with their fists and guns, it is at first place a DRAMA with a theme of intelligence data and how things go in Great Britain. This is also a film about human relationships in that cold, ruthless world. The main character is an experienced MI5 intelligence analyst who is dealing with a big challenge - top classified information that can shake the position of Prime Minister ( small and memorable role of Ralph Fiennes ). He lost a counterpart and a close friend and has a moral dilemma - to follow his conscience or to go with a flow. Luckily, he has a help of a beautiful neighbour Rachel Weisz, an another memorable role. Bill Nighy is great and this film doesn't have too many flaw. If you enjoy slow, intelligent spy dramas this is the right thing for you.
Claudio Carvalho The MI5 analyst Johnny Worricker (Bill Nighy) receives from his boss and his friend since they studied at Cambridge, the Director General of MI5 Benedict Baron (Michael Gambon), a top secret report also distributed to Jill Tankard (Judy Davis) and to the Home Secretary Anthea Catcheside (Saskia Reeves). They have an internal meeting and Johnny highlights that on page eight, it is informed that the Prime Minister Alec Beasley (Ralph Fiennes) knows that the US Government is torturing prisoners in prisons around the world. Baron cannot disclose his source, but if the information is correct, the Prime Minister has not informed the MI5. Meanwhile Johnny befriends his next door neighbor, the political activist Nancy Pierpan (Rachel Weisz), whose brother was murdered by the Israeli army with a white flag. When Baron dies of heart attack at home with his wife, Johnny suspects that the death of his friend may not have been an accident. He also finds the file on Nancy's brother. Now Johnny has to decide his next move."Page Eight" is a boring and stylish British political thriller with a bad screenplay and good cast. The ambiguous relationship of Johnny and Nancy sounds weird since the inexpressive Bill Nighy is too old to be a wolf and shows no chemistry with Rachel Weisz. The slow pace and unnecessary subplots make painful to watch this movie in many moments. The conclusion is incredibly dull and senseless, with Johnny leaving his apartment behind with his art collection and traveling from London maybe to South America (the favorite destination of Londoners on the run) apparently broken after leaking the secret information to the BBC. My vote is four.Title (Brazil): Not Available
kosmasp If you take a look at the cast, you should be wondering how this can be called a TV-movie. Starting with Bill Nighy, but not ending with Rachel Weisz. A great ensemble that does not only promise good acting, it also delivers it. Add a witty script, with some great ideas and you have an excellent movie. If you only add the "TV movie" sticker, I might as well have rated it higher.But even without that added bonus "point", I can assure you, that if you like political dramas/thrillers, you will absolutely love this. Apart from conspiracy and other things, this neatly ties in everything and more. The story is far more complex than one might think at the beginning. Very well thought of and very well executed.
