British embassy for details on the Panama canal whose
management is rumoured to change hands. Harry spins a tale,
involving his ex-revolutionary friends but can't get out of
his own trap of lies when it's too late and his friend has
killed himself.
Analysis
Based on the book by John Le Carre, this one just may be interesting stuff for those of you straying away from romantic froth flooding theatres lately.
With names like Geoffrey Rush and Pierce Brosnan involved, the film brings out excellent performances from both men. Brosnan plays a depraved snoop, out to make his money with great ease. Rush, though is rather likeable as the sensible tailor and family-man. He is superb in certain sequences with Brosnan. Jamie Lee Curtis is functional in a small role.
The plot appears well-defined, although we'd say keep your eyes and ears open, or you just might miss what's going on. This one has a super script with the best lines for Rush.
Wit and irony, sarcasm and humour all put together in a film that could well satisfy your appetite for a decent film this weekend.
