Salting the Battlefield

About This Movie

So, Salting the Battlefield wraps up David Hare's trilogy featuring Johnny Worricker. It’s got this tense atmosphere, really, of a man on the run, trying to navigate through a web of secrets and power plays, typical of Hare’s writing style. The pacing is deliberate, allowing for character development amidst the action and drama. You can feel the weight of the British establishment pressing down on Worricker and Margot as they traverse through Europe. The performances, especially from the leads, add layers to the already intricate narrative. It’s distinct for its focus on the political landscape rather than just chase scenes, making it a thought-provoking watch, though it doesn’t shy away from the action either.
