    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Writer and director David Hare told some associates that if this movie works, he might bring back Bill Nighy's character Johnny Worricker as part of a trilogy of television movies. This eventually happened with two 2014 sequels, Turks & Caicos (2014) and Salting the Battlefield (2014).
    • Goofs
      In one scene we witness a lock being manipulated by a pick set, ostensibly to gain entry to a property. However, the pick and lever are only momentarily wiggled around in the lock before the door gives way. Many productions make the same mistake, the pick only bypasses the pins in the lock, however the cylinder still needs to be rotated as it would be with a key in order to actuate the lock.
    • Quotes

      Johnny Worricker: I had a feeling that if I asked a favour you were a sort of person who'd come through.

      Nancy Pierpan: You trust me. Why on earth would you trust me?

      Johnny Worricker: Because that's the job. Deciding who to trust. That's what the job is.

      Johnny Worricker: Also, you told your father that I work for the Home Office.

      Nancy Pierpan: I lied.

      Johnny Worricker: Yeah.

      Nancy Pierpan: You trust me because I lied.

    When you don't know the truth everything freezes and you can't move on.
    When I see Bill Nighy, Rachel Weisz, and Ralph Fiennes in a cast, I know I have to check it out. I was not sorry I did. The three were together in at least one other great film - The Constant Gardener. Individually, there is seldom a really good film that doesn't have one of the three.

    Of course the Golden Globes and BAFTA agree with me as they both gave the film a nomination.

    The Prime Minster (Fiennes) seems to be up to his neck in deception. The meeting between Nighy and he was fascinating.

    Page Eight was a positive surprise with good dialogue and an engaging story.
