All The Old Knives Review: Pine & Newton Boost Average, Familiar Spy Thriller
Spy games often make for good entertainment and the latest addition to the storied genre, Amazon Studios' All the Old Knives, is solid, but not incredibly memorable. Directed by Janus Metz, the film is based on the novel of the same name by Olen Steinhauer (who also wrote the script) and has plenty of the familiar tropes present in decades of espionage tales. All the Old Knives is a slick venture largely held up by performances from Chris Pine and Thandiwe Newton. It tells an intriguing story, though there's a good chance that many audience members will be able to predict the final twist before it arrives. Ultimately, All the Old Knives lacks innovation, but it still serves up an entertaining ride thanks to Pine and Newton's twisty dynamic.
