This is one of my favorite political thriller and a film I watch regularly. I have never understood why it is not better known and better rated.
So what if it is not like the book? You can not turn a book in to film with only two hours of screen time. You need at least 10 hours for that. A two hour film is always going to be a shortened version of the book, so it is unfair to criticize the film for not being as good as the book. That's apples and oranges!!! The button line is that this is one of the best political thrillers. Not perfect but not far from it. 3 1/2 stars (of 4).
