Page Eight introduced me to Bill Nighy, whom I then realized I had seen in Underworld and two of its sequels. There are two sequels to Page Eight, both from 2014, Turks and Caicos featuring Christopher Walken, and Salting the Battlefield. "Brilliant" isn't how I would describe Page Eight and the subsequent films. They're not boring, but "relaxing" is a better word.
