Comma before where

Hi Friends,

This is the example sentence: I didn't like this movie. Not any more than MI5, where there are too many car chases.

I feel a comma before where is necessary in such sentences. Am I right?

Thanks.

I didn't like this movie. Not any more than MI5, where there are too many car chases . Yes: assuming that there is only one MI5, the underlined element is a non-defining relative clause, and hence it should be separated from the main clause with a comma.
