The independent global spy agency – tasked to uphold the safety and security of all people – was destroyed by operatives of Manticore, a powerful syndicate manipulating the world from the shadows. What’s the plot of Citadel starring Lesley Manville?Ī synopsis from Prime Video tells us: “Eight years ago, Citadel fell. Dahlia Archer is at the helm of the organisation, who will stop at nothing to get their hands on all the codes to all the nuclear weapons in the world.Īnd the villainous Dahlia is the stuff of nightmares. The Citadel of the title is an international spy agency, whose enemy is Manticore – a super-rich, nefarious, new syndicate. It’s overtly playful, and perfect for a Saturday night in front of the box. And don’t get me started on how Priyanka Chopra Jonas can do battle in a dress THAT tight and sexy.īut this is pure escapist fun, and will leave you wanting more.
There’s a fight scene in a toilet which seems to go on forever, but Richard Madden’s character Mason Kane walks away without a scratch on his lovely face. Prime Video paid $250m for this spy thriller, and I think it was worth every penny. It’s glossy, action-packed, and has one of THE most beautiful casts ever. I liken Citadel to a TV version of James Bond, or Bourne Identity.
