i know that there are people referring to this as a john le carre film, or a ralph fiennes film. i am going to consider it a fernando meirelles film.
fernando directed "city of god" - for my money as beautifully shot and epic a film as i've seen in the 21st century. although there are solid performances throughout, it's fernando's eye that defines this picture.
as a thriller, it's passable. as a collection of acting performances it's good. as a visual spectacle, it's stunning. i don't normally suggest that people see movies based entirely on how they look, but it's worth seeing this one for that reason alone.
