Salting the Battlefield (2014 TV Movie)
Third and final, in a series of three Johnny Worricker, MI5, TV movies.
17 April 2022
This three-part series of TV movies started in 2011 with "Page 8", a reference to the location of some sensitive information in a report. Veteran MI5 agent Johnny Worricker ends up having to go on the run and ends up in Turks and Caicos, thus the title of the second movie.

In this final one Worricker gradually makes his way back to London via stops in several European locations, to bring all this to a head. The movie is good because of Nighy, plus Fiennes who is the tough, decisive Prime Minister.

My wife and I enjoyed it at home on DVD from our public library. The focus is on characters and a good, plausible story without the need for gunfights or fancy chase scenes. Low on action, deep on story and characters.
