Our take
An M spy thriller follows a quiet CIA decoder who hunts terrorists after his wife is killed in an attack. Violence includes shootouts, explosions, torture references and executions, though the opening murder happens off screen. Language is moderate, with at least one f-word. The hero is implied to be on the autism spectrum. Best for teens 14+ who can handle revenge-driven action and terrorism themes.
Uplifting themes
Persistence and using your strengths matter, though they sit inside a violent vendetta The lead is clever and determined, yet his path is vigilante justice
Story (may spoil tone)
After his life is turned upside down when his wife is killed in a London terrorist attack, a brilliant but introverted CIA decoder takes matters into his own hands when his supervisors refuse to take action.
