A
CIA officer, Henry Pelham, is given the assignment of reopening the
investigation of an eight-year-old case that involved a hijacked airliner that ended tragically when all the passengers and terrorists were killed. The
mastermind of this act has been apprehended, and has indicated that the
terrorists were being fed information from inside the CIA itself. So, Pelham
finds himself forced to reunite with his old cronies from his station in
Vienna, including the woman agent that he fell in love with. Who was the leak,
and can Pelham trust himself to do what is right, even if it breaks his heart?
This
is told in a series of flashbacks to the time of the hijacking and the sequence
of events surrounding it. A thriller with many twists and turns, it is
relentlessly intriguing and extremely entertaining. It keeps the interest with
an almost hypnotic intensity, and should definitely be on the short list of all
spy movie enthusiasts. Stars Chris Pine and Thandiwe Newton.
