Dort bleibt seine Anwesenheit nicht lange unentdeckt, CIA-Agent Pelissier möchte Worrickers Künste in Anspruch nehmen bei den schwierigen Verhandlungen mit Gangstertypen, die ihr in krummen Geschäften (mit der US-Regierung!) erworbenes Vermögen zu waschen gedenken. Mittendrin steckt die hübsche Melanie, die mehr von allem weiß, als gut für ihre Gesundheit wäre.
Aus einer Trilogie rund um den fiktiven britischen MI5-Chef Johnny Worricker (Bill Nighy) ist dieser optisch reizvoll in karibische Tropenszenerie gegossene Agententhriller der Mittelteil. Obwohl die ganze Zeit akute Lebensgefahr für viele Beteiligte besteht, fehlt von spekulativen Actionszenen weitgehend die Spur.
The second movie in David Hare's Johnny Worricker trilogy. Loose-limbed spy Johnny Worricker, last seen whistleblowing at MI5 in Page Eight, has a new life. He is hiding out in Ray-Bans on the Caribbean islands of the title, eating lobster and calling himself Tom Eliot (he’s a poet at heart). We’re drawn into his world and his predicament when Christopher Walken strolls in as a shadowy American who claims to know Johnny. The encounter forces him into the company of some ambiguous American businessmen who claim to be on the islands for a conference on the global financial crisis. When one of them falls in the sea, their financial PR seems to know more than she's letting on. Worricker soon learns the extent of their shady activities and he must act quickly to survive when links to British prime minister Alec Beasley come to light.
