A quiet, well-plotted, period spy thriller aimed at audiences over 15. Brad Anderson delivers the best Tony Gilroy movie since Extreme Measures ('96) and Jon Hamm captivates with a nuanced, world-weary performance. Still, I'm not sure this movie's many strengths can make up for the hate crime of its reductive title.
