Slow, a little confusing, but not not bad

Rating: 6/10 (18 June 2020)

The shots of the rain and snow in London and the panning shots of Budapest and the Hungarian countryside are wonderfully done, but not enough to save this film from an overly complicated plot.
While at times the movie lives up to it's "spy film" description, especially in the first few scenes, however, much of the movie follows Gary Oldman as he enters and exits his house -- which he does very well -- and a former spy's transition to a school teacher and his friendship with a student. While the actors can be commended for their professional performances, the abundance of characters and storylines to follow made it a lot to put into a single film and distracted from the central plot.
