I really don't understand the hype around this movie. It's an all star cast, with rave critic reviews, but it's just terrible. The script is embarrassing, to the point where I thought the whole thing was just a big joke; it's pretentious to the extreme, and makes an effort to come across as intelligent and sophisticated, but it just comes across as desperate and pretentious. The storyline, character development are kept deliberately vague, in an effort to make a cloak and dagger, bureaucratic spy thriller but it just comes out as incomprehensible, desperate, unintentionally Kafkaesque slop.
Also, why is a long term, supposedly intelligent and wise intelligence officer sleeping with his new Syrian neighbour young enough be his daughter? This bizarre relationship is never explained, even within the contentious interpretation of what passes for explanation in this movie.
One of the most overrated, self indulgent pieces of pretentious trash I have ever seen. A hard pass.
