OUT 1 SEPTEMBER CINEMAS
Marking the feature writing/ directing debut of Apple TV+ series ), this darkly funny drama is part Ben Wheatley, part Harold Pinter. Couple-on-the-run Ewan (Amit Shah) and Silke (Sura Dohnke) are holed up in a remote Belgian cottage, waiting to reveal an Edward Snowden-style secret to a newspaper (the title is Dutch for ‘whistleblower’); Chris (Tom Burke) and Glynn (Roger Evans) are the muscle sent to protect them. With some droll lines and a dissonant score, it’s an anxiously enjoyable watch; there’s no doubting Shah when he says, ‘I’m fucked; we all are.’
