A decent spy film, but not the best around. Many features of the film are just okay, like the cinematography and shots. Not many creative shots and it should be more creative with them.However, I did enjoy most of the plot despite being a little confused. I am aware the film is based on a show, but never seen it before. The film manages to get you aware of the characters without seeing the series before, so this is another positive of the film.Some of the acting is decent like Kit Harington and Peter Firth. The villain is very minimal in the film, so there is not much to say about him. Some twist and turns in the plot which is good, but can sometimes get confusing. Another film to just watch on Netflix or on a DVD but worth seeing once.

This movie is really nothing special. I don't get why some people are so thrilled about it. It's actually a pretty boring movie with tons of pointless twists. Twists in a story are normally good but they have to be good twists. And that's not the case in Spooks: The Greater Good. At almost every twist you go like "uh yeah, whatever" or "pleasssse". And too much stupid twists are killing a story or make it completely uninteresting. About the cast there is not much to say. They stay with their script (that is bad by the way) but they act decently, without being the greatest actors ever. And one more thing, with spy movies it's always the same. You have that one betraying that one and then another betraying that one and so on... It's getting so boring at one point. And in this movie it's just the same. Conclussion for me Spooks: The Greater Good is highly overrated.

Great TV series - pacey, edgy and dynamic. However on the BIG screen it loses that edge. Some terrific set pieces and great use of some London locations, but Harry Peace's character was not engaging enough and unfortunately the new boy Kit Harrington was not at all convincing. Disappointing film, as I loved the TV series. This review on the RadioTimes website says it all for me.... "Had The Greater Good been on BBC1, perhaps over two nights, it would have felt like espionage Christmas had come early, but in the isolation of a single hit, it struggles to fill the screen. It gives me no pleasure to write this. But perhaps it should have stayed retired, for the greater good."

A good movie. An interesting story with an engaging plot at certain points with a mystery that at no point seems obvious to the viewer, except when it is revealed. Good performances of the protagonists, and good action scenes, despite the clear budget. On the other hand the action does not appear within the long flush, alternating between some very busy times for other long and explanatory dialogue at that point the film shows very little linear. Another point where the full-length piece is in its many mysteries, from the beginning we are introduced to various situations "nebulae" in the plot of each character in the end some of these are explained and others simply left out, giving the impression over than a sequence of a first film.
