I give "MI-5" aka "Spooks: The Greater Good" 3-out-of-5 Stars

I enjoyed the TV show in-which this movie is based. It ran for 10 TV seasons in the U.K. It is now running on HULU. The TV show gave us the personal lives intertwined with their jobs of secret service operatives. The movie doesn't give us as much & I think that's what is missing. Character depth. The two main characters deal with a wife & the other a father, but only on the surface. They have to race against time to catch an escaped terrorist who wants to blow up London.

The last 20 minutes are fantastic as the mole inside MI-5 is exposed. I give it 3-out-of-5 stars ***
