All the Old Knives” is directed by Janus Metz and written by Olen Steinhauer (who is also the author of the book the movie is based on). It opens with the 2012 hijacking of Flight 127 by terrorists and the Vienna team of the CIA trying to make head or tail of the situation. The team features Henry Pelham (Chris Pine), Celia Harrison (Thandiwe Newton), Vick Wallinger (Laurence Fishburne), Bill Compton (Jonathan Pryce), Ernst Pul (Jonjo O’Neill), Leila Maloof (Ahd), and Owen Lassiter (David Dawson), all of whom fail to capture the terrorists or save any of the passengers on board. On top of that, their failure led to the death of an informant who was giving the CIA valuable information about the hijacking.All the Old Knives 2022 Full Movie Download
Eight years later, the case is reopened after the mastermind behind the attack, Ilyas Shushani (Orli Shuka), is captured, who reveals that a mole in the CIA leaked information to the terrorists, thereby leading to the debacle. Vick calls in Henry to relook into the case and interview/interrogate Bill Compton and Celia Harrison because the calls that went from Vienna to Iran came from their phones. Henry pays Bill a visit and then zeroes in on Celia after Vick essentially tells Henry to kill Celia for her apparent betrayal. Henry visits Celia at a restaurant of her choice, and over the course of a lengthy conversation, all kinds of truths come to the surface, leaving Henry, Celia, and the audience’s jaws on the floor.
The reason that’s initially given to us is that Langley has officially opened the case on Flight 127 and found out about Bill and Celia’s apparent involvement in the debacle of the hostage situation and their informant’s death. So, Vick wants Henry to go after them because Vick is aware of Henry’s proximity to Bill and Celia (especially Celia, because of their romantic past).
