Some hostages are held in a Greek restaurant by some terrorists who also have a 'dirty bomb'. The British authorities negotiate with them. It has a few good moments but is not that gripping, particularly when dealing with the domestic problems of one of the negotiators and the ending is far too rushed. The story never seems that convincing. The twist at the end that reveals the source of the 'Red Mercury' was frankly ridiculous. There are some fine actors but their written roles didn't measure up to their talents. On the positive side there was good location shooting in London.
