When a terrorist escapes custody during a routine handover, Will Holloway must team with disgraced MI5 Intelligence Chief Harry Pearce to track him down before an imminent terrorist attack on London.

Spooks for the greater good is set several years after the end of the television series Spooks which ran for 9 years from 2002 to 2011. Fans of the series would be interested to know that the actors who are reprising their roles are Tim McInnerny as Oliver Mace, Lara Pulver as Erin Watts, Hugh Simon as Malcolm Wynn-Jones, Peter Firth as Harry Pearce and Geoffrey Streatfeild as Calum Reed.
In a review that I read about movie said that The Greater Good was like Mission Impossible meets Bourne. Personally I really didn’t see that, partly because For the Greater Good was not on such grand scale as either of those movies (the story might of had international ramifications the story was kept within the borders of the United Kingdom) and because the Greater Good is following the trend of bringing a sense of realism to spy movies as opposed to having the hero of the movie rely on high-tech gadgets, though that being said I loved the ending.
I kind of liked Kit Harington’s performance, though I loved Elyes Gabel’s performance as Adem Qasim because he is a very unfamiliar face to me which made loose myself in his work.
