Official Secrets has a familiar structure and an obvious if worthy message, but rises on the strength of Keira Knightley's powerful performance.
The movie doesn't seem to be playing near you.

Like the whistleblower at its center, "Official Secrets" has backbone and conviction, something we could use more of today. Sep 12, 2019 | Rating: B | Full Review…

It's a good story, well told, though you have to forgive Hood for indulging in a little journalistic cliché. Sep 10, 2019 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

The end result is a professionally made film that is whistle-blowingly relevant, starring an excellent actress who successfully comes in from her Pride & Prejudice past. Sep 9, 2019 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

It's difficult to become immersed in a film in which far too many characters sound like they're reciting talking points and not delivering authentic dialogue. Sep 6, 2019 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

Although Knightley's Gun often seems to be a passive figure, buffeted by the machinations of those around her, the film's honesty about the enormous personal costs of whistleblowing is a welcome relief from more romanticized heroics. Sep 4, 2019 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

It might not be the most gripping film about whistleblowers, but still a solid drama in which the cast made it well worth a watch. Keira Knightley delivers a pretty convincing portrayal of Katharine Gun, surrounded by a fantastic British cast! Sep 15, 2019 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…
