One shouldn't have to take notes to follow a movie.

Rating: 5/10 (16 August 2016)

I never thought a movie with such amazing acting and cinematography could be so unbearable to sit through. Not having read the novel or seen the BBC series, I was completely un-engaged even on my second attempt to sit through this 90 minute pill of Ambien.
It is baffling how much of the movie does NOT contain dialogue. You'd think the director could have maybe filled some of that dead air with some proper exposition, especially concerning the side characters. Either that, or make the movie longer than 90 minutes.
I would not recommend this movie at all, even to fans of espionage or think-pieces.
Even the most intelligent people will struggle to make sense of this film's garbled time-lines and lack of narrative context. 5/10
