"Unlocked," out in UK theaters on May 5, sees Bloom play a
secret MI5 agent who double crosses a CIA interrogator as she
races to stop a biological attack on London after accidentally
providing terrorists with information.
"The world we live in today, this kind of situation could
absolutely happen," Bloom told Reuters at the film's premiere on
Tuesday.
"I think our director Michael Apted did a fantastic job, you
know, of really handling that with a great deal of care and
sensitivity," he added.
Apted, who directed 1999's James Bond film "The World is Not
Enough" said the story of "Unlocked" is "getting more and more
powerful."
"I don't think you can play games with it. I don't think you can
flirt with it or not take it seriously and it's getting more and
more frightening as the days and the months go on," he said.
