Film review: All The Old Knives is as much a love story as it is a spy thriller

All the Old Knives owes a debt to John le Carré’s Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy

Chris Pine in All the Old Knives

★★★★☆

All the Old Knives (15A) stars Chris Pine as Henry Pelham, a CIA veteran who travels from Vienna to California to interview his former colleague, and ex-lover, Celia (Thandiwe Newton), about a hijacking in 2012.
