He has worked on several films that Gary has starred in
Chronology
It follows a team of British intelligence agents who serve as a dumping ground for MI5 due to career-ending mistakes. Deep in the credits under “Camera Trainees” you can see Alfie Oldman, Gary Oldman’s son.
The cast is fantastic, and while the dialogue needs to be louder for my American ears, it is well written
He has starred in Graham Norton and guest stars: Kristin Scott Thomas/George Takei/Claudia Winkleman/Jamie Oliver/First Aid Kit (2022). I’ve seen the first two episodes and was only disappointed that there were only six of them, and then another six.
The theme song
I wouldn’t normally watch a film adaptation of a book I might want to read, but I wanted to see this one as soon as it came out and I didn’t know if the books. I’ll definitely read them later.
As soon as I heard it I thought, “Surely they didn’t catch Mick Jagger”?!
But it is what it is, and the song is cool, with appropriate lyrics and thematic elements of the soundtrack. I see some reviews complaining about the “leftist” leanings in this song, but I only see art imitating life in some of the plot points.
It’s good, really good, considering the first two hours
I recommend this song unless you don’t like high-minded spy tricks.
