As Good As It Gets

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

In 2002, I became a fan of the TV series Spooks (known as MI-5 outside the UK), whose creators were obviously inspired by the success of 24 in order to make their own European version, portraying the adventures and personal drama of the agents of the MI-5 agency. Sure, as it is usual in English TV, there wasn't too much money to shoot big action sequences or special effects, so the emphasis of the programme always lied on the traditional espionage and the political intrigue. But what distinguished it were the realism of the stories and their unpredictable cruelty, which could anytime kill (or eliminate through other mediums) any characters, from "guests" of one episode to the stars of the series. In other words, anything could happen, and nobody had a guaranteed survival. And the film Spooks: The Greater Good retook that strategy in order to graduate into cinema after 10 seasons on the small screen. I have to say that I have only seen the first four seasons, and then the ninth (because Sophia Myles was on it). And even though Spooks: The Greater Good assumes the fact that we remember some elements of the mythology and continuity of the programme, there are enough clues and context to deduct the missing information. Spooks: The Greater Good keeps a methodic rhythm which obliges us to pay attention and make the connections between the labyrinthine screenplay at the same time as the characters, while the few action scenes are brief but intense and brutal, working as a satisfactory punchline of the drama... they are never employed as filler or distraction for impatient spectators. In conclusion, I liked Spooks: The Greater Good very much, due to its fascinating screenplay, solid direction and excellent performances from the whole cast (highlighting Peter Firth and Kit Harington). Spooks might have been born as an answer to 24, but it was never a simple copy, and Spooks: The Greater Good does the same in cinema, avoiding Hollywood formulas in order to focus into the motivation of the spies and the ideology of the political forces controlling them... or trying to manipulate them.

This movie is really nothing special. I don't get why some people are so thrilled about it. It's actually a pretty boring movie with tons of pointless twists. Twists in a story are normally good but they have to be good twists. And that's not the case in Spooks: The Greater Good. At almost every twist you go like "uh yeah, whatever" or "pleasssse". And too much stupid twists are killing a story or make it completely uninteresting. About the cast there is not much to say. They stay with their script (that is bad by the way) but they act decently, without being the greatest actors ever. And one more thing, with spy movies it's always the same. You have that one betraying that one and then another betraying that one and so on... It's getting so boring at one point. And in this movie it's just the same. Conclussion for me Spooks: The Greater Good is highly overrated.

So this movie was goo, but it could have been better. For movies that have to do with spy organizations, there is so much that could be done with it but many of the movie makers tend to stick with similar generic stories. There really is not any originality to it that way, and it becomes repetitive.The thing that was most interesting with this is it leads a person to believe who the inside man betrayer is, but then it throws you off and leads you to the next agent. There was a MI-5 convoy that was taken down while transporting a highly classified wanted man. It was a set up to make the MI-5 look weak so that it would be dismantled and handed over to the C.I.A.So this movie was going back and forth leading to the potential snake in the group. It was to the point where lies could not be separated from the truth.

This film is so B-O-R-I-N-G it had to be British. So boring like the drizzle dreary bwitish weather itself. So boring I wrote this to fight off the insomnia attack while watching this turkey (and we all know the bwitish can't cook).What with the lines "what the bloody hell… ' each fulmination delivered with that repressed boarding school angst the top inbred upper class characters all have. They do have a black guy in there but he's such a coconut his massas probably don't even call him by name just whistle.No need for spoilers this turkey is well spoiled because it's about… surprise, surprise Arab terrorists. And not like Three Kings or The Siege or Traitor where the gray areas are used for brill dramatic effect.To make it appear somewhat original, you know what they did? Get this WASP on WASP competition! American CIA vs bwitish MI5. Too funny, I know the bwitish are pretty clueless bunch (I use to live there) but there is no competition folks it's been over since the US started using that drizzle dreary island as its largest aircraft carrier, over 30,000 US troops on British soil under American command. Uncle Sam runs things already. C'mon now MI5 it's over so stop embarrassing yourselves with this farce to stay independent while pottering around after naughty arabs with bombs.Sometimes a boring movie can be bearable with eye candy or a great backing track but not this lame duck. In the name of realism they used actors who look the part, that's inbred upper class twats from that diminishing gene pool who are not easy on the eye. And the backing track to this wooden chicken, is like intro to techno beats, you know the cheezy slow intro effects before the beats speed up.Woulda Coulda Shoulda worked if it was serious, and I mean serious in any way, seriously camp like James Bond (the boys at the club say you're not fooling anyone James), or a serious setting like the brilliant Hidden Agenda 1991, but then that's set in Ireland and too much for the BBC tea and biscuit brigade who need to believe their nanny state is taking care of them — yea right, tell that to the victims of their imperialist wars blessed by the worlds biggest welfare queen.If it's a TV spy series that's your bag, check out Homeland.
