All the Old Knives (2022) is a spy thriller film directed by Janus Metz, based on the novel of the same name by Olen Steinhauer. The film stars Chris Pine and Thandiwe Newton and is set primarily in a series of intense, conversation-driven flashbacks.
The story follows two former CIA agents, Henry (Chris Pine) and Celia (Thandiwe Newton), who once shared a romantic relationship while working on a mission in Vienna. Eight years later, a terrorist attack on a plane results in the deaths of several pá´€ssengers, and the CIA suspects a mole may have been involved. Henry is tasked with investigating Celia, as she was a part of the mission at the time of the attack. As they meet again, they begin to unravel the secrets of their past, and the film explores themes of betrayal, trust, and deception.
The film is a slow-burn thriller that focuses heavily on dialogue and psychological tension, relying on its leads’ strong performances to carry the plot forward. It’s a cat-and-mouse game where the past and present are blurred, and the truth is elusive.
All the Old Knives received mixed to positive reviews. Critics praised the chemistry between Pine and Newton and the film’s moody, atmospheric tone, though some felt the plot was a bit predictable. If you enjoy spy thrillers with a more cerebral approach, this one could be right up your alley.
