Clickonline writes: "Shadow Dancer is at its best when it’s keeping us guessing about the nature of its characters and retaining some mystery about the various players in its deadly game. Marsh shapes some short, sharp bursts of action and moves things forward at a deliberate pace which might frustrate some viewers."
Not unlike Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy, this slow-burn saga takes its time. But the attention it calls for pays off down the line thanks to riveting performances and tense, water-tight plotting.
Vicki Dolley writes: "Shadow Dancer, the latest from Oscar-winning James Marsh, is a measured yet gripping piece of filmmaking that never drops your attention and leaves you ever-hanging on its beautiful, long, lingering moments."

Paramount have sent over the first trailer for their new movie, Shadow Dancer which is set to premiere this evening at the Belfast Film Festvial and will show later on in the month at the Edinburgh Film Festival. If all goes well, one of our awesome chaps will get a review of it up as soon as possible.
In the meantime, have a watch of this first trailer which comes from Director James Marsh and screenwriter Tom Bradby. Shadow Dancer stars Clive Owen, Andrea Riseborough, Aidan Gillen, Domhnall Gleeson, Brid Brennan, David Wilmot, Stuart Graham, Martin McCann and Gillian Anderson. It’ll be with us 25th August.
This is a spy thriller and I like this type movie...put Clive Owen in it and for sure I'll be seeing it.
