My Review – Black Doves Streaming on Netflix My Rating
8.5/10 Think back to those great British sentimental Christmas movies like Love Actually and Last Christmas, well Black Doves surprisingly has a few of those holiday moments in its six dramatic episodes. I say surprising because this British spy thriller has some very violent moments with shootouts, executions and some very dark moments, but these scenes are almost comical or maybe like many, I have become a little desensitized to violence on TV and film. Black Doves, ably directed by Alex Gabassi and Lisa Gunning and written by Joe Barton, stars Ben Whishaw, Keira Knightley and Sarah Lancashire, all on top form, playing very dark characters with double lives, working together and independently in a quest to solve the assassination of a prominent Chinese diplomat.
Reed is a real standout in Black Doves as she sells secrets to the highest bidder regardless of national loyalty
Playing a role very different to anything I have seen him play before, Ben Wishaw plays Sam Young, friend of Helen Webb played by Keira Nightly. These two unlikely trained assassins work for their ruthless boss Reed played by Sarah Lancashire in another splendid departure from her usual police inspector roles. Black Doves moves quickly with many interesting characters including Helen’s husband Wallace, an influential and ambitious politician who is unaware of his wife’s double life until the dramatic conclusion.
“One Hundred Years of Solitude” is one of the biggest TV and streaming premieres this month
The other supporting role I enjoyed was played by Kathryn Hunter as Lenny Lines, another ruthless assassin recruiter. As I mentioned earlier, I was surprised by some of the lighter touches in the snow scenes, Christmas songs and gifts being handed out around the tree which I thought added another dimension to what could have been a very dark series. I suspect and hope we will see another series of Black Doves, it is a quality production.
Seems a little quiet over here
