I love the movies and my favorite on the political thriller genre was more profound after watching the series Homeland. When idly watching Closed Circuit, starring Eric Bana and Rebecca Hall I can not help but little remembered that my favorite series. Is Closed Circuit which failed miserably at the box office just passed unfairly by the audience because of poor release schedule? Or is it a movie that has an interesting premise but failed to be developed so that the audience chose to skip in the theater?

It is a day that is mediocre in the city of London. Crowded market, a lot of people chattering casually, then ..

The explosion that killed hundreds of people were made ​​throughout the city - even the British nationwide panic. Death and anger make angry mob and the police (who headed MI5 and MI6) to move quickly capture Farroukh Erdogan, a Turkish immigrant who is considered to be blooded mastermind of the blast. Basis of arrest is a secret that should not be intel released to the public because it feared could disrupt operations of other secret intel. The problem now is whether or not the courts to prove guilt Farroukh Erdogan. This court can not be done openly but must be closed and silently (Closed Court).

In this trial lawyer Martin and Claudia hired to be the defenders of Farroukh. However, because the items of evidence for this court is sensitive goods then Martin and Claudia forbidden to meet openly to discuss the evidence items. This is further complicated by Martin and Claudia's relationship status that used to each other's lover. The more Martin and Claudia dig Farroukh case, the more aware they will be a political intrigue that houses this case and threaten their lives.Please visit here

Early and Closed Circuit premise is actually very nice and interesting. I really like the appearance of the two main actors in this movie both Eric Bana and Rebecca Hall, who appeared very convincing in their acting. I was grateful that every time a story script about to bring us both in a romantic relationship, he stopped so as not to burden the story. Similarly, the appearance of the stars Ciaran Hinds and supporters especially Jim Broadbent. Broadbent in fact is a total scene stealer every time he appears on screen. I rather regretted Julia Stiles, who still can not get a weighty role in her career (perhaps back to the TV world just miss Julia?).

But Closed Circuit began losing entuciasm when entering the final third of the story. When all had been opened when a twist of rational thought out the holes and the flaw in the logic of the story began to unfold. Getting hurt again is due to the start pacing alone accelerated the obvious plot hole plot-hole there, disturbing the hard-hard realism built by the film during the first two thirds. More disturbing is when a twist in Closed Circuit  then follow the cliches of government versus the individual who has been frequently raised in similar films. In other words, outside the new premise Closed Circuit failed to bring something new in the delivery of the story. Nevertheless I quite like the cinematography of Adriano Goldman is often panned by CCTV standpoint, as if giving the sensation of big brother.
