All the Old Knives
How many secrets can one relationship hold before it shatters? This question burns at the heart of All the Old Knives, a 2022 spy thriller that masterfully blends romance with razor-sharp suspense. Set years after a devastating terrorist attack on a Paris flight, two former lovers and ex-CIA operatives reunite over an elegant dinner in Carmel-by-the-Sea. But this is no simple reunion; it is a high-stakes interrogation disguised as a nostalgic date, as one is tasked with uncovering whether the other was a traitor responsible for the mission's catastrophic failure. Directed with a restrained intensity that amplifies the psychological tension, the film explores themes of love, betrayal, and the moral compromises made in the name of duty. With every clink of a wine glass and every carefully chosen word, the past is dissected, forcing both characters and viewers to question where the truth truly lies. For those who crave a cerebral, character-driven story that proves the most dangerous weapons are often the secrets we keep, All the Old Knives offers a gripping and emotionally resonant experience.
