Colonel Katherine Powell (Mirren) leads a
secret mission against terrorists in Nairobi, Kenya. We follow the various
individuals and operations who are watching the movements of the terrorists.
It is very suspenseful, as well as very
complicated, both politically and morally.
I don’t usually like political/military
thrillers, but this is exceptional, with exceptional acting from Mirren, Rickman
and Paul down to the smallest roles.
The film is dedicated to the memory of
Alan Rickman.
