    Definitely a clear second in the “movies about a reserved but calculating spy called George attempting to weed out a treasonous colleague among a a rogues gallery of great actors” race.  Still a good breezy time. I know we all love our movies to be sub 100 minutes but I actually think letting us be lost in the mire of the knotty mystery a bit longer would suit the story better 


    Rege Jean-Page plays one of the most woefully inept spies I’ve seen in a minute though.

    I’m sure when The Sundays did their beautiful, haunting cover of Wild Horses, they thought “some day this will soundtrack Mark Wahlberg fingering Reese Witherspoon on a rollercoaster”.

    I know he’s a grown, elderly man but Scorsese in that knitted tie makes me want to put the cute little guy in my pocket and carry him around.
