A widower's transcontinental quest to find answers about his wife's death leads him to explosive secrets.
Adapted from the novel by John le Carré, this is a gripping romantic thriller that sweeps audiences along as British diplomat Justin Quayle (Ralph Fiennes) sets out to uncover the truth behind his wife Tessa's (Rachel Weisz) murder after she's found dead in the Kenyan wilderness. In the process, Quayle unearths some disturbing revelations. A critical success, the film was nominated for four Academy Awards, with Weisz winning for Best Supporting Actress.

"A sweaty, vital masterpiece that's always one step ahead of its audience." — The Chicago Tribune
"There is a terrific pulse of energy in this film, a voltage which drives it over two hours." — The Guardian
"Fiennes carries Le Carré's spirit with a slow-burning performance that operates on two fronts: as a powerful indictment of third-world abuses by pharmaceutical companies, and as a widower's moving investigation into his shattered relationship." — Scott Tobias, AV Club
