- hmm.. maybe first one could be the Departed; Jack Nicholson, an informer (rat), double - 'double life' undercover etc....?
- maybe second could be 'Bronson" , film with actor called Tom Hardy, about inmate "Charles Bronson" with handlebar moustache?0 -

Next 2 clues:
• Clue Number 3: Gotham, Gordon, antidote, begins (I think this is Batman Begins ?)
• Sum: Take the star rating, times by 2 and then add 2
• Clue Number 4: Hitchcock, Cary, cropduster scene, identity (North By Northwest?)
• Sum: Take the star rating, times by 30 -
1. Departed = 4* number = 19, letter = S
2. Bronson = 3* number = 1, letter = A
3. Batman Begins = 3.5* number = 9, letter = I
4. N by NW = 4* number = 12, letter = L
I predict that the final clues will give 15 (O) and 18 (R) and the codeword will be SAILOR (which fits in with Tinker, Tailor, Soldier....) but I would wait for the clues to confirm before entering.0 -
Last 2 clues:
• Clue Number 5: Man, Colin, Los Angeles, Ford (A Single Man? star rating is 3.5, times 4 then add 1 = 15 = Letter O)
• Sum: Take the star rating, times by 4 and then add 1
• Clue Number 6: London, Caine, novel, IPCRESS (Is "Ipcress File" too obvious? star rating is 3.5, times 6 then minus 3 = 18 = Letter R)
• Sum: Take the star rating, times by 6 and then minus 3
