Spooks:The Greater Good is yet another, tedious, formulaic, self justifying load of I spy cods wallop from the UK.
This film drearily recycles just about any spy drama you care to name. There's nothing new or novel on offer here, just more of the same the nation is under threat nonsense.
Whats really irksome too is the rather hypocritical, self justification. The UK has taken part in wars against a significant number of nations in recent years, often without any real justification. As such, its not easy to play the victim with any degree of credibility or conviction no matter how many excuses you offer or fingers you point.
Combine that with hackneyed characterizations and rather implausible plots with loopy nonsense about umbrella drops, etc and you have a real pot boiler on your hands here. Four out of ten from me and only because the acting is reasonable even if nothing else is.
