Or the soundtrack of Alexander desplat is more feel, every melody sounded, the scalp tingled. It's a little shocking, the story is undoubtedly alluding to blair, every detail is so straightforward that a fool can understand, and the British Prime Minister's wife is a CIA spy, it's so psychedelic. And this kind of film has not been boycotted by stakeholders in the UK and the United States, which shows freedom of speech. And Ewan's character is very stupid and simple. He believes in strange politicians casually, and finally finds out the answer and handed a note to the femme fatale for a quick death? It's so stupid, so angry that the old man's eyes flashed gold stars for a while.
