In the suspense thriller CLOSED CIRCUIT, a high-profile terrorism case unexpectedly binds together two ex-lovers (Eric Bana and Rebecca Hall) on the defense team - testing the limits of their loyalties and placing their lives in jeopardy. Following a mysterious explosion in a busy London market, the police swoop, a suspect is detained, and the country prepares for one of the most high-profile trials in British legal history. Two exceptional lawyers with a romantic history (Eric Bana and Rebecca Hall) step into a dangerous web of secrets and lies, and when evidence points to a possible British Secret Service cover up, it's not just their reputations, but their lives that are at stake.

British justice stands proudly as a lighthouse…blah blah. A pretty interesting court thriller thanks to the British feel. I really like conspiracy stuff and some of the revelations were pleasantly surprising. Bana and Hall fit the role just right, even though the show they put on is nothing special, it leaves in you with a mainly positive sensation.

If this film didn't get so tangled up in the relationships between the characters, which are completely unnecessary, and simply focused on the trial, and if it was filmed in a raw, almost emotionless way, maybe it would be an exceptional film, but like this, it's a courtroom drama combined with a thriller and even a romance. But one wonders why, because like this, it's just one of many, even though Bana once again shows that he doesn't have to die in a movie to be tolerable.
