All the Old Knives, an espionage mystery thriller set in Vienna, California, and England, is set to hit Amazon Prime Video on April 8, 2022 at midnight GMT. Starring Chris Pine, Thandiwe Newton, Laurence Fishburne, and Jonathan Pryce, the suspense thriller is expected to involve loads of action, drama, the CIA, leaked data, and an 8-year-old case.
Based on a novel by Olen Steinhauer, who is popular for his book titled The Tourist, of the same name, All the Old Knives follows Henry Pelham (Pine), a former CIA agent. On a task to uncover the truth behind the plane crash that killed over 100 people all those years ago, he must also find the mole amongst them.
Knowing that his former girlfriend Celia Harrison (Newton) is one of the prime suspects in the case, the two must work together to prove her innocence. If fate's on their side, hopefully the two will make it out alive.
Exploring the storyline, and more about Chris Pine's All the Old Knives
In a stylish, intense, and seductive spy thriller, All the Old Knives opens with a memory of a devastating terrorist plane hijacking incident that resulted in the death of over 100 people onboard.
Eight years later, when a Chechen terrorist (Orli Shuka) is interrogated, the lasting repercussions of an unsuccessful operation involving the CIA's Vienna headquarters resurface when he discloses his organization had a mole aiding them from that exact office.
The case is abruptly revived, reopening all the books, and Henry Pelham, one of the original CIA agents responsible, is sent by the office's head, Vick Willinger (the ever-reliable Laurence Fishburne), to examine something he believed was long-lost in the past.
Starting off in London, where Henry meets his former colleague Bill Compton, the investigation takes him and everyone else present during the Vienna operation to a Carmel-by-the-Sea scenic restaurant in sunny California. Considering that he gets to meet all his former colleagues, Henry reunites with his ex-girlfriend (and former colleague) Celia and the two reminisce about their past.
While his former lover is among the many who could have been the mole all those years ago, there is much for Henry to discover. This sleek espionage thriller with a compelling storyline from screenwriter Olen Steinhauer is directed by Janus Metz. Helmed by an engaging cast, the film will take the viewers on a journey to learn the truth behind Henry and Celia's mysterious and tragic backstories.
