I had to companion it with Page Eight which finished faster in comparison, and was a fairly light watch with Bill Nighy and other inoffensive excuses for a spy thriller. Coming back to T2S2, it is a scotch glass in hand watch, much like Moneyball but far better in terms of cast and depth and whatnot. Some great technique(in fact the best I have seen this year) and performances and the spy theme make it a tougher than ordinary thriller(think Ghost Writer).Tusharnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6937848248469121586.post-75244009916687091322011-11-30T12:15:53.498-08:002011-11-30T12:15:53.498-08:00I still publish there, but I always put my stuff h...I still publish there, but I always put my stuff here first A) because this is my blog where EVERYTHING goes and B) Huff Post no longer allows writers to edit posts after publication. Hence, if I'm going to make any typos or the like, I want to do them here so readers can catch them in time for correction. This review will go on Huff Post early next week. But in the meantime, bookmark Mendelson's Memos for everything I write.Scott Mendelsonhttp://scottalanmendelson.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6937848248469121586.post-4011467412459161662011-11-30T11:06:13.683-08:002011-11-30T11:06:13.683-08:00I like the espionage-y way that you wrote the pote...I like the espionage-y way that you wrote the potential spoiler. Great review as always. What happened with the Huffington Post? I don't mind coming here to read your reviews but it took less work when it was just part of my standard HuffPo browsing.George Windsornoreply@blogger.com
