REVIEW: The globe-trotting spy-thriller 'Citadel' stars Richard Madden and Priyanka Chopra Jonas. Too bad it’s so bland.
, so it’s not all bad. But it’s staggering to look at the finished product and understand why Amazon thought thatCitadel, we are eventually told, is a legendary spy organization not loyal to any one government, corporation, or individual. As Tucci’s gadgeteer Bernard explains, they “helped shape every major event for good in the last 100 years.” It’s fair to question a lot about these assertions, particularly since there have been many, many, many events for bad in the last 100 years.
Regardless of whether or not you believe Bernard’s assertions, though, the show’s setup goes out of its way to avoid showing you Citadel at its peak powers. We open with top agents Nadia and Mason on a mission together on a train rushing through the Italian countryside. The pair flirt and banter, then kill a bunch of Manticore agents in a close-quarters
sequence directed well by acclaimed cinematographer Newton Thomas Sigel. But things go quickly awry, and suddenly it’s eight years later. Mason is calling himself Kyle, with a wife and daughter. He has retrograde amnesia, and remembers nothing of his life as a master spy. Bernard finds him and reveals that Manticore took out all of Citadel in a single day, and he and Mason appear to be the only ones left.
