Agatha Christie, She Watched Ep5 “Sparkling Cyanide” (2003)
Warning: Spoiler-heavy review! Teresa and Bill Peschel from Peschel Press discuss the 2003 made-for-British-TV movie “Sparkling Cyanide,” which mixed Christie with “House of Cards.” Updated for the post-9/11 era, it features a vulgar football club owner; a rising governmental minister having an affair with the tycoon's wife; his star striker dating the tycoon's daughter; and a secret government agency spying on them for the prime minister!
With its pro-surveillance state politics, it could have been a propaganda movie from the Ministry of Information in “1984.” In her spoiler-heavy review, Teresa rants about the movie’s big plot holes, it’s “CSI”-like tech that China wishes it has, and why you should still watch it.
