John le Carré: The Tailor of Panama

A konyvet elolvasva megallapiottam, hogy remekul sikerult a film adaptacio. Geoffrey Rush, aki a Ragyogj ota az egyik kedvenc szineszem remekul alakitottan Harry-t, bar Pierce Brosnan nemileg elter attol, amilyennek Le Carre Andy-t megformazta. Osszessegeben izgalmas konyv, meg ugy is, hogy a film miatt tudtam, mire szamithatok.
