And he knows his rivalry with River has shifted to an order to flush him out like a rat and murder him. But he grows into a considerably darker and more formidable presence in “Cleaning Up” because he sets about the task Ingrid has assigned him with no conscience. Until now, Duffy has mainly been a dumb lunk, the sort of henchman a skilled spy like River can work around with comical ease. With River and Louisa joining Sean and Ben in rooting through the outside facility for the incriminating “Footprint” file, Duffy has been ordered to “clean up,” which is the most polite possible way to say “slaughter every last one of your colleagues.” Diana has been working behind the scenes to give all the support she can to Sean and the Tiger Team in getting what they want - including that one crucial moment where she helped River infiltrate the Park as part of the “test” - and Ingrid has been using the resources at her disposal, chiefly meatheads like Duffy and his “Dogs,” to suppress the threat. So this entire season has been about Ingrid and Diana moving pieces around the board. Ingrid would lose her job if anyone were to find out. If it worked.”) When Ingrid’s plan backfired, and Alison looked to play whistleblower, she had her wiped out, along with hospitalizing other innocents and nearly getting a senior North Korean spy killed, too. (“It could penetrate closed systems,” she says. Now we know: Ingrid had endorsed a device that would hack encrypted computers wirelessly. Not a great look for MI5! Until this episode, we had no idea what Alison Dunn had found in Istanbul that was so important that she was murdered for it, prompting Sean and Alison’s siblings to embark on a desperate, high-risk quest to get to the truth. They’ll find someone younger.”Īnd so it goes, this decadent drink between rivals, as their own agents are out in the field killing each other.

“I’ll never get First Desk if I wait for you to retire. “Which made me think you were trying to cover your envy with your generosity.” That’s certainly true because the spy games they’re currently playing put that coveted seat up for grabs again. “My most generous gift by some margin,” says Ingrid. The bottle was a gift from Diana after Ingrid got appointed to First Desk. And it’s home because the Park’s leadership is so outrageous and venal.īut a word like cynical doesn’t even begin to describe the delicious cartoon villainy of Diana and Ingrid cracking open a bottle of 18-year-old McCallan and waiting to see who will emerge victorious in a deadly firefight between MI5 agents that they’ve engineered. For Jackson, Slough House is not some purgatory from which he might emerge if he does his job well.

This is why he scoffed at Ingrid Tearney’s offer to escort the rogue Tiger Team into the outside facility to look at the Grey Books he didn’t see it as a career opportunity as River eventually would but as another in a series of traps. In previous seasons, we’ve seen how Diana Taverner has occasionally attempted to manipulate Slough House to her own ends, to the point where Jackson accepts such betrayals as part of the job. It's hard to make a rating, but I will give a 6/10, with hopes that 'Ruslan' will be better (and I think it will be), because Cinetel is not involved there.If Slow Horses weren’t such a briskly entertaining piece of escapism, then it read as an almost unfathomably bleak assessment of the spy game. But they should never work with Cinetel again, because their editing is just extremly bad.

But no guarantee on that.įinally I think Jeff King is a very good director, the look really surprised me, specially when you know the budget. Some dubbing, but not as much and bad as in Attack Force. The editing is in general very very bad and excessive, I hope 'Ruslan' will be better in that point. The only watchable fight is the last one in the movie. Ok, they have more energy and speed like them in Attack Force or Ticker f.e., but they are just bad. The most time there is his double and the editing is just bad and annoying. Ok, there are a lot and they are very long and not dark, but that's the only good thing. His partner was very good and Steven looks that he had fun to shoot the movie. Not as good as in Pistol Whipped but it was ok.

I think the movie has the best look in years. The movie looks better than Pistol Whipped and light-years better than Urban Justice. There are very good and also very bad points. It's hard to make a rating for this movie.
