A Different Loyalty

I recently saw A Different Loyalty. The film is based on the true story of Kim Philby. He was a high-ranking member of British Intelligence. Unbeknown to his wife, Eleanor Brewer, he was a spy for the Soviet Union.

In the actual film, Rupert Everett plays Leo Cauffield. He meets Sally Tyler (Sharon Stone) while in Beirut. Both have been married before, but are also both truly happy for the first time with each other. After a brief period, the film goes back and forth in time and shows the destruction the occurs after Leo is exposed as a traitor.

I did not expect much prior to seeing this film, and I wasn't really disappointed or surprised. The film worked to pass the time, but is definitely not a must-see.
