Two more days with Maxim. Full day went pretty well. Made up with Aeja and she tipped me and found my hat at the restaurant. Mo was ruthlessly efficient, not a charmer but okay and he certainly made the trains run on time. Showed me I could show my Tour guide license on Liberty Island and get a free soda. Monday was a little rough with Cyrus again, who, frankly doesn’t really know what he’s doing, or has communication issues and can’t adequately communicate.

Interesting two hour version of the LeCarre story. Oldman is fine. It’s fun to see favorites John Hurt, Ciaran Hinds and Benedict Cumberbatch in supporting roles. The other leads aren’t as good, the hateful Toby Jones is far too prominent, Colin Firth isn’t given much to do, even though he’s the nominal villain. David Dencik and Kathy Burke are far more forgettable than their TV counterparts. I do like Mark Strong as Prideaux, though.
