Product Description
Johnny Worricker (Bill Nighy) is a long-serving MI5 officer. His boss and best friend Benedict Baron (Michael Gambon) dies suddenly, leaving behind a contentious file whose explosive contents threaten the stability of the organisation. Meanwhile, a seemingly chance encounter with Johnny's striking next-door neighbour and political activist Nancy Pierpan (Rachel Weisz) seems too good to be true. Johnny is forced to walk out of his job, and then out of his identity to find the truth.

I bought this series on 'spec' because of the actors involved. It was a short mini-series but well acted and the plot was very good. I would recommend it to anyone who likes spy type films.

I bought Page Eight with great expectations, being a big Bill Nighy fan. Nighy plays a nondescript but dependable MI-5 agent who stumbles onto a disturbing secret, just after his boss suddenly passes away. Whether he will divulge it will affect his career - in fact, just the possibility that he will publicize it produces some unpleasant repercussions in the office (as in 'do you expect to be working here next week?'). While I enjoyed the performances of Nighy and Miss Weisz, I didn't think there was one killer suspense scene in this film (unlike, say, a typical MI-5 epsiode), and, for some reason, the actors were prone to curse frequently, that is. a lot of F-bombs (I thought only Hollywood actors used this device and British actors just 'act'). Overall, then a passable spy flick, without a lot of highs and lows. Nighy had hopes of making a few sequels to this in hope of producing a series based on his characters - my advice? less cursing and more story, Bill.

I loved this dvd. It arrived when they said it would and it was extremely good. Lot's of twists and turns and gripping right to the end. You must concentrate on the dialogue. Read more

Page Eight
Great acting, Bill Nighy is superb, but storyline was weak.. Left me wondering what it was all about at the end.
