The East

Med en intressant fråga om moral och en slags thriller-känsla i en oväntad miljö lyckas The East hålla vad den lovar.

It’s best, perhaps, to just accept the movie on its dramatic terms, as a reasonably gripping thriller about the dangers of deep cover, anchored by a terrific actress on the brink of stardom.

Doc is as underwritten as all of the movie's other characters, but Kebbell invests him with a sense of humanity; he manages to communicate more about what it means to be trapped in a morally tricky situation...

Batmanglij and Marling’s expertly cultivate mystery, especially when Sarah first meets the members of East.

Coolly beautiful as well as an intriguing, slightly withholding actress, Brit Marling remains a name to watch.
