Movie Reviews of Cambridge Spies
Movie Review: For those like myself who were mystified by "Blunt, the Fourth Man" and "Another Country"
Summary: 4 Stars
For those like myself who were mystified by "Blunt, the Fourth Man" and "Another Country", this version of the story makes it all clear and understandable. These brillilant young Britons were carried away by their abhorrence of fascisim and naively embraced the originally idealistic cause of communism until they gradually became Soviet agents and were too far immersed to break free. At last the story of these men is given a plausible reperesentation from their callow youth to their fateful ends in ignominy. Toby Stephens and Samuel West are excellent, as is the rest of the cast as well. Highly recommended for those interested in the history and politics of clandestine agents and traitors.Movie Review: History, Facts and Fiction
Summary: 4 Stars
Video was well done from Cambridge to the final exposure. Actors were superb and believable especially Toby Stephens and Tom Hollander. The one problem I had was with the spies never aging in a period of 20+ years. Even the porter at Cambridge aged when A. Blount returned looking as young as when he left. It was important for me to have the trailer with the actual video of A. Blount admission. I read Spycatcher by P. Wright after seeing this video; I'm amazed how much the British were able to accomplish in the Cold War with so many moles in their organization. John Le Carre's MI-V this was not!Movie Review: ESPIONAGE, YET HISTORICAL
Summary: 4 Stars
I am a fan of British movies, especially BBC's period movies. This is a historical movie, that exposed the "spying" of these Cambridge students, without England's and USA's knowing, until the harm was done. Very good actors, Toby, Tom, Rupert and Samuel. I recommend this movie to those who loves a little suspense and some comedy. College life in Cambridge at that time was exposed too. I just love to watch British movies, incomparable to American (typically brutal, mind boggling, & senseless movies).Movie Review: Fascinating
Summary: 4 Stars
Watching this for the first time as a fan of actor Samuel West, and author John Le Carre's spy novels, I was expecting a little more cloak and dagger. However, this interesting and more 'human' approach delved into the nature of how 4 idealistic young men became double agents in the spy game. I also enjoyed the series for the performances of some of the best British actors (some emerging, some established) of our generation.Movie Review: Great movie, so-so history
Summary: 4 Stars
As a movie, Cambridge Spies is well-acted by a stellar cast, interestingly plotted, well-scripted, and beautifully filmed. I enjoyed it very much.
Historically accurate? Less so.
