About this movie

The acclaimed performances of two-time Oscar®-winner Michael Caine and Brendan Fraser power a stylish political thriller where love and war collide. Set in early 1950s Vietnam, a young American (Fraser) becomes entangled in a dangerous love triangle when he falls for the beautiful mistress of a British journalist (Caine). As a war is waged around them, the three only sink deeper into a world of drugs, passion and betrayal where nothing is as it seems. Based on the classic novel by Graham Greene.
