There’s not a single action sequence yet I feel like this is the most action movie I’ve seen in awhile. The edge of your seat kind of stuff. Totally loved and enjoyed it. And Keira was amazing. One of her top performance, if I dare say.

I can't help but wonder how many events like this one, or to a similar end, have happened without the public ever knowing about them.

Honestly, the world could do with a few more selfless people who decide to turn into whistleblowers for the greater good of humanity. Katharine should be applauded.

Shame on anyone who promotes unnecessary war, unlawful invasion and the murdering of hundreds of thousands of innocent people. Greedy killers hiding beneath their "defenders of freedom" cloak. Shame on them.

Great movie. Very well produced and played. This is a very important topic. There is so much BS going on past, prestent and, most likely, future. And people need to be reminded. Even if it falls on deaf ears with the majority.

**I'm a fan if you can keep me as engaged as any of the Fury Road action sequences.**
Official secrets comes under the 'whistleblowing' genre whose stalwarts include movies like All the president's men and Network. There have also been a few in recent times like The Post and Spotlight. But what makes this stand out is the amount of time we spend on the protagonist's personal life. Not to take away anything from these movies, (they might even lessen if they try something like this) but it was important here that we devoted our focus into the character's personal struggles because only then would we know how hard the decisions that she made were and the things that were at stake for her when she chose this for herself. That for me elevated the movie to a whole new level.

Another great Bushwack movie (movies proving Bush was wack). I personally love Bushwack movies, but this one was really special.

No strong start, as her actions and decisions don't seem very motivated and determined initially. But later we get plenty of everything that matters.

Knightley does one of her better performances in this one but it gets a little boring at points and would probably been more enjoyable if had been released and watched closer to the actual events.

Wow, great movie with a very interesting story and Keira Knightley was brilliant as always.

Gripping all of the way through. It's no secret that the UK and US governments lied about weapons of mass destruction, but the film brought to light some details that I hadn't known before. A good film, and one that is quite topical, as the governments who rule our countries continue to lie and deceive us.

I liked this theiller about how an employee of the UK leaks a document about the government trying to get involved in an illegal war. Keira Knightley holds this movie with a good acting. I liked the production values and music, I think they create a good athmosphere for the film. Maybe it lacks the good old Hollywood drama, but I enjoyed it. What I did not like was perhaps that it only is about the leak and trial, not the consequences of this and we only know about them as final text explanation.

[Amazon] The concept of "legal/illegal war" is itself Machiavellian. Debating loyalty to a country or loyalty to a government is nonsense. These reflections are set out in a correct film that delves into war crimes without almost mentioning them. In "Eye in the sky" Gavin Hood created a thriller about war; here he builds a suspense story about the why of war. The worst thing is that "legal wars" continue happening.

It was after 9/11 and during the run up to the Iraq invasion that I started to pay a LOT more attention to politics than I previously had. There were a lot of things I missed during that time and the story of Katharine Gun was one I didn't remember a lot about, so it was great to go back and revisit this story. It's also quite relevant to today's political landscape and shows some contrast (and stark similarity) between the relationship between gov't and media then and today. All three of the leads were quite good, even if they were only playing slightly modified versions of themselves. For a political drama, I did like that they gave some time to focus on Gun, her personal life, and the toll her actions were taking. Gavin Hood has come a long way from the trash heap that was X-Men Origins: Wolverine, so kudos to him for the progress he's made.
