CGiii Comment
Well...if Tom Hiddleston is a favorite to become James Bond...this can do no damage to those prospects. Boyish charm coupled with a chilling and carefree ability to kill!
Hugh Laurie is a bit of a surprise...he does the part justice...vile, cunning and manipulative...with a soupçon of a more mature charm.
Tom Hollander...what a nasty little queen he is...vicious, bitchy and a bit of a slapper...with designs on the future James Bond! Ouch!
And then there's Olivia...grounded - as usual - bringing that maternal quality to the character.
A no-expense-spared quality production, edge-of-the-seat exploding stuff...and, it's all thanks to Susanne Bier, she kept a tight grip on the whole thing.
