Intelligence agents George (Fassbender) and Kathryn (Blanchett) have a rock solid marriage built on trust. But that trust is tested when George is tasked with finding out who in his department leaked a top secret cyber weapon. The list of suspects include an array of romantically entangled younger agents (Regé-Jean Page, Naomi Ackie), as well as Kathryn. Does his loyalty lie with his wife, or with his country?
With the slow burn of Le Carré and the entertaining swagger of a James Bond film (including a supporting turn from Pierce Brosnan!), Steven Sodergergh delivers a "fizzy, engaging puzzler about beautiful spies doing the sort of extraordinary things that the rest of us only read about in novels and—if we're lucky—watch onscreen" (New York Times).
