Movie Info

Based on John Le Carr�'s novel by the same name, this story about Charlie (Diane Keaton) a female double agent working between the Palestinians and Israelis, loses some of the excitement and in-depth characterization engendered by the long novel -- mainly because the novel is hard to capture in a two-hour filmed format.

Critic Reviews for The Little Drummer Girl
