Notes et avis

Enjoyed it even though I already knew the plot from the TV series. The movie though does a great job of keeping things moving at a fast pace while maintaining the suspense

A real good political and personal drama. Keep you anxious.

The grips builds up quite well till the end. Amazing screenplay.
