01.28.15Netflix Another understated John Le Carre adaptation sort of along the lines of Tinker Tailor but without the period stuff and just an actual spy story rather than a mole hunt. This made me miss Philip Seymour Hoffman. He's excellent in this. Everyone else is ok but he's excellent. This also has an ending with a very specific tone that just a few other films have and it's really good.

Anton Corbijn's narrative career is shaping up to be very surprising to me. Both this and The American are severely understated and I feel show a confidence with the script that many other directors (especially music video directors) don't have.
