Official Secrets Movie Review
The film also does little to stir the blood about the outrage of the unnecessary military action and its human cost. It relies too much on your memory of the actual events of the time.

Most of the performances are fine and the emotion is delivered in that oh so quaint and subdued British manner. The strength and ...

Labour laws of the time for children actors in Hollywood were almost non-existent. They also gave her regular quantities of amphetamines to keep her thin and working. This helped to create addictions that lasted her entire ...
