... or "A series of fortunate events". This is part two of a trilogy about Johnny Warricker, a disgraced secret service agent, who was forced to leave England to hide from his powerful enemies. However, each movie is sort of self-standing.According to Johnny, Turks & Caicos was the destination of the first flight out of the UK, when he had to leave the country in a hurry. How lucky for him that his first choice was not a cheap flight to Bucharest or Tenerife, but the very upmarket British protectorate in the Caribbean.From the lush island, the plot unravels, following a series of circumstances that could be easily described as very improbable.First: a CIA agent passing by a beach where Johnny lounges, happens to recognize him and to ask his help for an operation. Second: the CIA operation/job/mission is about the same dirty deeds Johnny was investigating in London and that caused his downfall. Thanks to the CIA, Johnny has the chance of doing more damage. Fancy that...Third: Johnny's ex girlfriend is a high-level employee of the company the CIA is investigating and her boss readily discloses top secret information to her, just because she asked him. What are the chances?Anyhow, thanks to all these "chances" Johnny manages to cover up a murder, get back with his ex, re- distribute some dirty money, fool the CIA and move towards new adventures.Still, good entertainment for a cold Thursday night.

This movie keeps you guessing. What are the various characters really up to? Can they be trusted? What are they trying to do?I had a problem telling the two lead females apart. They look similar. They keep changing the makeup, hairstyles and makeup. For while, I thought there were three different women.The soundtrack is a wonderful melange of accents from all over the world. Turks and Caicos is a tropical paradise.The basic plot involves extorting $200 million from the bad guys. I did not understand how this was supposed to stop the bad guys, who got to keep the money, why the Bill Nigh character risked his life to participate. I was puzzled why the bad guys did not kill the extortionists.This movie is a bit like being a child, sitting on the floor, under the table, listening to some serious adult conversation, only glimpsing a bit of what it was all about. It fun not to have everything explained ham- fistedly.

Well not so much of action as much of drama in this piece, well to be precise there is none of action or if under action you can put thing that both main characters are spies or sitting on the beach drinking and eating. Story is short, but well acted as you would expect from so experienced duo of actors.Movie shows some modern problems of this world such as existence of tax free islands where all the dirty money goes .It is placed on beautiful s island Turks & Caicios which adds another note to this movie. .All of that brings me to the point where i have to say i enjoyed movie for which i thought, never will, definitely recommend.

"Turks & Caicos" seems oddly incomplete. That it is a made-for-television film and a sequel to "Page Eight," an earlier program, explains some of the gaps, but doesn't excuse them for a viewer who hasn't seen the earlier program. The limited budget associated with a television production is clearly evident. Most of the film takes place in about half a dozen locations, notably a large resort that seems largely unoccupied, a stretch of beach that seems unoccupied, and the lead character's home, which also seems unoccupied. Two scenes supposedly shot at an airport seem particularly bereft of passengers and airport personnel. There are no sweeping helicopter shots of white sandy beaches, resort hotels or palatial homes and no shots of local customs, culture or festivals. We see two local policemen, a few fishermen, a single mother with her son and a few food service employees in the background, but very little of Turks & Caicos, which seems largely unoccupied. For a resort island, it seems more desolate than secluded or pristine.The plot is sketchy at best, although much of the background story was apparently developed in "Page Eight." It revolves around unethical people in cahoots with unethical politicians engaging in deceitful accounting practices tied tenuously to recent sensational news. There are no car chases, fisticuffs, shoot-outs or on screen seductions. There are between three and five romances, but none are explored on screen. We see little beyond their aftermaths. Most of the key events occur off-screen, leaving us only a final confrontation that is difficult to follow without knowing the characters or having witnessed the various plots, subterfuges and deceptions first hand. John le Carré can spin a tale based on some obscure transaction, such as a disbursement to a supposedly dead spy. This movie tries to emulate that type of story with desk-bound analysts who can never escape the call of duty to Queen and country, but we never get close enough to the characters, the action or the setting for a truly satisfying experience. We get a dialogue-heavy story that feels like an overly long episode of a television series that we've never seen before. Despite various frustrations with the film, the final scene was affecting; however, it was intercut with a parallel scene that leaves the viewer wondering if two characters can really be that ignorant. There are a couple of brief scenes involving a rudimentary piece of communications equipment that seem to be bound by 1960s technology. Production values are modest, but adequate. Some of the dialogue is mumbled and Bill Nighy's character responds to several questions by repeating the question, at one point twice in a row. The actors do well with what they're given. The film is so obtuse that one needs to pay close attention to follow the plot, but the rewards for such close attention to detail are relatively modest in comparison. It would probably be more rewarding for a viewer who has seen "Page Eight."Solid performances, especially by Nighy, Ryder and Walken make the film watchable, but it's not a film one wants to view repeatedly to catch the subtle nuances.
