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.
