Turks & Caicos (2014 TV Movie)
4/10
Our man in Turks & Caicos
27 January 2017
... or "A series of fortunate events". This is part two of a trilogy about Johnny Warricker, a disgraced secret service agent, who was forced to leave England to hide from his powerful enemies. However, each movie is sort of self-standing.

According to Johnny, Turks & Caicos was the destination of the first flight out of the UK, when he had to leave the country in a hurry. How lucky for him that his first choice was not a cheap flight to Bucharest or Tenerife, but the very upmarket British protectorate in the Caribbean.

From the lush island, the plot unravels, following a series of circumstances that could be easily described as very improbable.

First: a CIA agent passing by a beach where Johnny lounges, happens to recognize him and to ask his help for an operation.

Second: the CIA operation/job/mission is about the same dirty deeds Johnny was investigating in London and that caused his downfall. Thanks to the CIA, Johnny has the chance of doing more damage. Fancy that...

Third: Johnny's ex girlfriend is a high-level employee of the company the CIA is investigating and her boss readily discloses top secret information to her, just because she asked him. What are the chances?

Anyhow, thanks to all these "chances" Johnny manages to cover up a murder, get back with his ex, re- distribute some dirty money, fool the CIA and move towards new adventures.

Still, good entertainment for a cold Thursday night.
