-
A faithful adaptation of Greene's wonderful novel, very well edited and with an exquisite production design, a beautiful score and Michael Caine in one of his best performances - besides the exceptional way that the narrative interweaves romance and politics to near perfection.
-
Caine and Fraser's remake of the Quiet American is quietly not so bad. Fraser has limited acting abilities but it hasn't seemed to matter in his biggest roles. He knows enough to let his co-stars carry the film. Caine is his usual brilliant self.
-
Quietly effective exotic love triangle set against a backdrop of political tension.

The Quiet American told the story of a love triangle which took place in the end of the French War in Indochina in 1952.A British reporter Micheal Caine, an American aid worker Brendan Fraser and a Vietnamese beauty Do Thi Hai Yen were the lead characters of this movie. It opened after the death of Fraser's character and so it showed the rest of the movie explaining what led up to his death. Micheal Caine carried the movie, and narrated it also and Brendan Fraser was convincing in his role.It was a slow paced movie but excellent direction coming from Phillip Noyce and brilliant acting from Michael Caine.
