Bill Nighy and Rachel Weisz head up an outstanding cast – including Judy Davis, Michael Gambon, and Ralph Fiennes – in “Page Eight,” a contemporary spy thriller from David Hare, his first original screenplay in two decades. Johnny Worricker (Nighy) is a long-serving MI5 officer whose life – both personal and professional – has just been turned inside out.
