Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIn an interview, director Susanna White said of Stellan Skarsgård's full frontal nude scene: "Stellan is very Scandinavian, nudity was not embarrassing for him in any way. We did that scene day two of working together and usually with nude scenes the wardrobe people rush in with towels to cover the actor up, but he didn't want it. I would go in and discuss the scene with him and he would be starkers."

Featured review
Disappointing but still watchable
As a Le Carre fan, it is fair to say that the film made a reasonable attempt of faithfully representing the book, although there were a few changes to the story. The problem with the film is that the book wasn't that brilliant to start off with and with the exception of Stellan Skarsgård (who played Dima)the other actors did not seem to have much belief in the characters they played. Saying that, it is possible for a film to be an improvement on the book and maybe misplaced deference to the author got in the way of the director and actors attempting to make the story more credible and interesting.
Perry was too 'nice' so when he played a 'knight in shining armour' on a couple of occasions, it was slightly confusing. Damian Lewis's performance (who played Hector of MI6) verged on the embarrassing as he portrayed him as a bumbling upper class twit which I am sure is not the character trait of MI6 operatives.
Overall, the film was watchable, but disappointing, especially after viewing the 'Night Manager' recently on television.
