Turks & Caicos
Dir: David Hare
2014
****
Turks & Caicos or the continued adventures of Johnny Worricker. I'm loving this series of films I have to admit. David Hare's direction has improved ever so slightly since Page Eight but then again, he did have the beautiful Island of Turks & Caicos at his disposal. The performances are still the main reason to watch and they certainly upped the ante with the cast; Dylan Baker, James Naughton and Zach Grenier make for great bad guys, Christopher Walken makes for a great is he/isn't he foe, Helena Bonham Carter is a very welcome new love interest and I have to say Winona Ryder pretty much steals the show as a broken women caught in the middle of a dastardly business venture. Bill Nighy is on form as always and my favorite character from the first played by Ewan Bremner makes a welcome return. It's not quite Smiley's people but it's getting pretty darn close.
