J: I’ve been accused of passing information to the Russians in the 1940s. Information which accelerated their ability to build an atomic bomb. (...) But I have also been accused of deceiving my country. I’m not a spy! I don’t believe in working against one’s country. I wanted the Russians to be on equal footing with the West. I’m not a traitor! I... wanted everyone to share the same knowledge. Because only that way could the horror of another World war be averted. And I think if you look back at history, you’d see I was right. The son: Mrs. Stanley has nothing to be ashamed of. She has made real something which we all talk about but have no idea how to achieve: peace.

I started watching this expecting a Kingsman style military/spy thriller, because Sophie Cookson was in this. The movie is slow and comes off like a dramatic play you'd watch in a theatre.

I expected more with Dame Dencb in the film. Her acting here was below her normal caliber here. The story in between her scenes would've been much better without the cutting back and forth. If they needed the big name that badly, her scenes could've been just at the very beginning and the very end and made for a much better movie. Still good overall, Sophie Cookson's performance was stellar.

The story is moderately interesting, but as told by theatre director Nunn, it becomes rather dull and uninspired. A missed opportunity.
