Saigon, 1952, a beautiful, exotic, and mysterious city caught in the grips of the Vietnamese war of liberation from the French colonial powers. New arrival Alden Pyle, an idealistic American aid worker, befriends London Times correspondent Thomas Fowler. When Fowler introduces Pyle to his beautiful young Vietnamese mistress Phuong the three become swept up in a tempestuous love triangle that leads to a series of startling revelations and finally - murder. Nothing, and no one, is as it seems, in this adaptation of Graham Greenes classic and prophetic story of love, betrayal, murder and the origin of the American war in Vietnam.

Harlan-5 (25 May 2012)
A film that needs to see the light of day!
Another Best of 2002 (or 2001 since its been shelved for so long). I saw"The Quite American" at the 2002 25th Denver International Film Festivalandall I can say is wow! Excellent direction by Phillip Noyce, gret scriptanda cast in top form. "The Quite American" is a rare film in todays moviemarket that actually has a story to tell, an interesting plot that keepsyouguessing from the moment it begins to the shocking ending and charactersthat have a life and are not just cardboard. "The Quite American" is atoncea spohisticated drama of political intrigue, a murder mustery and a lovestory all set to the back drop of the coming Vietnam war. This film isbasedon a Graham Green novel, and its well know he felt the 1958 version waswatered down. Micahel Caine (in another Oscar worthy role) plays ThomasFowler a British foreign correspondent and Alden Pyle (Brremdan Fraser) isan American aid worker (or is he?) who is both frighteningly sure he knowsright from wrong in a morally ambigous situation. This film was shelved by"Miramax Films" back in 2001 and has never see the lght of day. A verypowerfulll film that opens alot of doors filled with questions on rightandwrong and our stand as Americans against war. I think "Miramax" was justscared to put this films in theaters since they are afarid themselves ofpeople having an open mind and asking the very same questions themselveswhat is truly right or worng in today's changing world. A truly must seeforanyone that wants an intelligent and moving story. Well worth the $8.00 tosee.

Possibly one of my top 10 movies.
I think, The Quiet American is a very moving film. It is based on theclassic novel by Graham Greene. A murder mystery centred on a lovetriangle. It is the story of an ageing British journalist (Caine), ayoung American (Fraser) and a beautiful Vietnamese woman caught betweenthem. This is a world where nothing is as it seems - suffused withopium, intrigue and betrayal. Watch this film, I highly recommend it.Micheal Caine gives one of his best performances ever if not his best.Brendan Fraser also gave an excellent performance as Pyle. It is niceto see Fraser can diversify his roles. The sadness this film bringsupon is overwhelming at times. The film is almost poetic at times.LOVE.

Great book, fair film
Graham Greene's novels have been said to describe "Greeneland", a placedefined by a certain blend of geography, Catholicsm and moral dilemmaparticular to the author. Greene's brilliant writing andcharacterisation give each book its own identity, but certain elementsare recycled, albeit in different combinations. For example, theopposition of the doctor and the consul in 'The Honorary Consul'mirrors that of the journalist and the American in 'The QuietAmerican', although the doctor sleeps with the consul's girl and theAmerican with the journalist's. Now, another recycled element has beenretrospectively added into the mix: Michael Caine, who played thehonorary consul in the film of that book, has now played Fowler (thejournalist) in the latest of several film versions of 'The QuietAmerican'.'The Quiet American' is one of my favourite books, so it's hard for meto judge the film entirely independently. The rendering of the story is(apparently unlike the earlier films) largely true to the spirit of thebook, although it appeared a little disjointed to my eyes, failing toconvey a sense of the normal existence of the characters between thestand out events. There's also some slight dumbing down, characters askquestions that they should already know the answers to (so that theaudience can be told); the plot (and Fowler's personal journey) areboth a little simplified; and the character of Fowler is made a littleless jaded than he is in the novel Still, Caine convinces in the role,as does Do Thi Han Yen as his enigmatic girlfriend Phuong. As theAmerican, Brendan Fraser is a little brawnier than I was expecting,although his characterisation is in keeping with the novel. The endingof the book is also exchanged for a new twist that effectivelyacknowledges Greene's prescience in writing the story (it was actuallycomposed in 1955, but it tells you most of what you need to know tounderstand the later stages of the Vietnam war, or even America'scurrent neo-Conservative movement, intruding into Iraq with an ideologythat appears barely evolved from York Harding's). I think, however,that the original ending made more sense, even if it reflected themesof more interest perhaps to Greene himself than the average modernviewer.Overall, the film just didn't grab me with the same power as the book,although it's hard to tell whether it might have done had I not readthe novel first. But it's certainly a pretty straight and honourableattempt to put Greene's exquisite story, and surprisingly contemporarymessage, on screen. By all means watch this film; but read the book aswell.

A great film
I love drama films. I like films that can really make me just go "oh mygod". A good drama film in my opinion has to have a realistic storylinethat really grasps us. This film does more than an excellent job ofdoing that. Michael Caine is to be fair washed out to the youngergeneration, as a young person myself I wasn't expecting much from thisfilm. I was expecting a drama film which gave us something to laugh at.I was so wrong about that, yes there are a few laughable times butnearly every bit of the film just kept me wondering what was going tohappen next and I liked that. I think it was a very well made film andI'm glad I watched it. I felt attached to the film and the whole endingwas really well performed. The innocence of the actors feelings amazedme. Watch this film, it is well worth your time and pleasure.

Caine sure to get fourth Best Actor nomination
Michael Caine wrong for the role? Well, let's hear from someone who reallyHAS seen the movie: Roger Ebert in his review says that this is Caine's"best ever" performance! Acclaim for Caine is across the board from everysingle critic who saw the movie at the Toronto Film Festival, and he isnowa lock for a best actor Oscar nomination, as is the cinematographer,Christopher Doyle.
Roman Kogan (20 May 2012)
Very good movie
Very good movie, close to the book. Recommended for everyone,especially for the ones who have read the book. Very very pictorial andbeautiful, creates the atmosphere and impressions you'd have if youread the original story. The cast is wonderful; the actors' play isexcellent. Besides, actor playing Fowler is from London, actor playingPyle is American, so they look close to what the author of the bookwanted them to be. Pyle, however, could be less bully-looking, in myopinion; I imagined him to be somewhat lighter, but I quickly forgotabout it as the movie went on. The movie is built on contrasts: thecontrasts between main characters, the contrasts of Vietnam, even thecontrast in accents (I counted at least 5 different accents:British,American,french,strong/weak Chinese). Also, the movie is ratherbrief and is therefore quite dynamic, the time is not wasted in it.That's why it's only 3/2 hours long. This is the kind of movie thatwill not make you wait until it's finished. I highly recommend thismovie for everyone with a taste for good movies.

Michael Caine - best since Italian Job
Michael Caine stole this movie. His acting exceled above the other castmembers. His best performance since the Italian Job.Brendon Fraser didn't really fit into the spook that he turns out tobe.Basic story line is, French are fighting north Vietnam and Mr Caine is areporter for a British paper who resorts to a pieceful life (well not thatpieceful later) by occasionally reporting on events in the war. He ismarried (wife back in UK) but has a lover with him. Mr Fraser comes alongand falls in love with Mr Caine's lover. All is not right with Mr Fraserand as the plot unravells Mr Fraser is someone more dangerous. Fewfireworks and a sad moment when Caine looses his love and overall a veryenjoyable movie. Will be buying it on DVD.

A quiet little movie about a big deal
I haven't read the original Graham Greene novel as I'm not a big fan ofhis, and was curious as to how his sentimental and "soft" personalitywould come to the big screen.Some things didn't work too well. First off, the heavy reliance onnarration almost works but not entirely. I wonder if a straightforwardtelling of an intriguing story might not have worked to betteradvantage rather than the flashback approach. What DOES work brilliantly is the "love" story involving MichaelCaine's character and his Vietnamese concubine. It's good to see Caineon top form after all these years of an outstanding, brilliant actingcareer on film. Do Thi Hai Yen's portrayal of Phong, his lover, isbewitching. She is distant and mysterious, perhaps too distant. Thereis something preposterous about Pyle's sudden intrusion into theirlives. He enters the scene and simply takes what he wants from Fowler(Caine) with little resistance from the latter; a bit of Greene's"softness" coming into the lead character's personality perhaps. Itrings a bit false, as does most of Pyle's behavior throughout. A chanceto elaborate on Pyle's motivations is completely ignored in favor of asort-of generic "ugly" American approach and consequently muting theimpact of the outcome of the film.Brendan Fraser, a brilliant comedian, is surprisingly good as the"heavy" Pyle. He looks like a beefy geek and conveys a mysteriousunder-pinning to the character that is left to the viewer's imaginationas to what is really going on inside his head.It's a good film but oddly muted. The technical aspects are excellentand the shots of Saigon before the Viet Nam war went into full swingare beautiful. But if you want a more complete view of the French occupation of VietNam, pre-Lyndon Johnson, see 'Indochine' with Catherine Deneuve. NowTHAT is a great film.This version of 'The Quiet American' is good but nothing special, asidefrom the opportunity to see Caine in a highly nuanced performance latein his career.

A beautiful anti-Hollywood movie
One of the many thoughts that passed through my mind as I watched this gemof a movie was how poorly it would be commented on by the younger generationbrought up on The Hulk and The Matrix-films that rely on special effects tokeep people in their seats. Noyce's The Quiet American is the antithesis ofthese movie monsters and I thought the whole film was terrific. I'm notfamiliar with his work except for his small masterpiece, Rabbit Proof Fencebut to see him work with something completely different and about as faraway from out-back Australia as you could get was an indication of the depthand breadth of his directorial expertise.There have been a number of movies set in post colonial Asia and I freelyadmit that I have loved them all. I was lucky enough to visit SoutheastAsia as a tourist in the early '70s and Noyce's superb camera work involvingshot selection, angles and lighting directionmade this film languid, rich and immensely enticing visually.Based as it was on a Graham Green novel the viewer knows immediately thatthe film's plot will be superb. Having said that, I can easily see why thefilm had to be pulled after September 11th because of American box officeresistance-the movie was too tough for viewers. I'm glad that it'sre-release was greeted better the second time because it is a beautifullymade film and deserves wide and full appreciation.

A beautiful, haunting film.
A beautiful, haunting adaptation of Graham Greene's novel and, in thefaithfulness of its adaptation of Graham Greene's predictions, a remarkableindictment of the U.S.'s involvement in VietNam (although also carrying thenovel's failing through with it). Michael Caine is an indolent Britishreporter stringing out his term in pre-U.S. VietNam as long as possible. Hefalls in love with a young woman, which impels him to do a bit more work tojustify prolonging his stay. As he is drawn in, he discovers that all is notas it seems. What is left out (as was in the novel, written by a lapsedCatholic) is the role the Roman Catholic Church played in U.S. interferencein VietNam, the suicide protests of Buddhist monks, the attempt to install aRoman Catholic top dog on a Buddhist country that could have recovered fromthe Communist-French conflict left to its own devices. But much of that camelater.
Walter Frith (10 May 2012)
Quiet entertainment.
Coming from an expert of the slow pace, one of the executive producers of'The Quiet American' is Anthony Minghella, the director of 'The EnglishPatient' and 'The Talented Mr. Ripley'. No doubt his influence, along withco-executive producer Sydney Pollack, make this a slow moving but well actedfilm. 'The Quiet American' shows just how far back the American involvementin the Vietnam actually went. Michael Caine is an English reporter in early1950's Vietnam (French Indo-China) who meets with an American (BrendanFraser) who may or may not be what he seems. They both compete for theaffections of a Vietnamese girl but they try and walk a fine line inremaining friends throughout it all. This film has a well meaning script byOscar winner Christopher Hampton ('Dangerous Liaisons' in 1988) and RobertSchenkkan based on the novel by Graham Greene. It also has sure footeddirection by Phillip Noyce and Michael Caine is outstanding in one of hisbest performances as a philandering and drug experimenting Englishman whosealoof behaviour leads unintentionally into murder. As anti-American as itis, this movie was supposed to be released in the fall of 2001 but becauseof the events of September 11th in that year, the film was put off out ofrespect for the United States and rightfully so. 'The Quiet American' is aquiet film with moments of sizzle and I recommend seeing it for MichaelCaine as this veteran actor only continues to get better andbetter.

a great movie..see it on the big screen
A great cast, great mood setting cinematography and shot entirely inVietnam. Do not miss this movie. It will prove to be a classic, andbetterto see it on the big screen for the full effect. Just a top drawer movieinall respects. Highly recommended.

Memorizing & powerful film
In seeing this film, I saw several parallels with "The Year of LivingDangerously", 1982 film with Mel Gibson and Sigourney Weaver. Rather thandivulge plots of either film, I will say that I appreciate a good periodfilm, even it is fiction.A political science and history major, I enjoy good stories draped alongwith historical events.

Complimentary, particulary Michael Caine's acting.
Michael Caine is one of filmdom's acting treasures and proved it again in"The Quiet American". I read Graham Greene's provocative novel many yearsago and can understand perhaps why the book was not made into a movieuntilnow. It arrived at a time when the subject of French Indo-China/Viet Namwas a very sensitive one, particularly America's involvement in SE Asianaffairs. The remarkable aspect of the book and the movie is that it is sorelevant yet today. Kudos to the producers of this excellentfilm.
James Hitchcock (07 May 2012)
Destructive Idealism
During my childhood in the 1960s there was a strip cartoon in one of mycomics called "Texas Ted; Big Hat, Big Head". The title character was aloud-mouthed, boastful Texan who always wore a Stetson hat and wasconstantly proclaiming the superiority of all things American to hismeek little bowler-hatted English cousin. The last frame of the cartoongenerally showed Ted being cut down to size in some way or another.This stereotype of Americans as loud, brash and arrogant was quite acommon one in Britain in the fifties and sixties; it appears lessfrequently today, not so much because we have changed our opinions ofAmericans but because we no longer define ourselves so much as quiet,reserved and modest. The title of Graham Greene's novel "The QuietAmerican" was probably a subtle reference to this stereotypical view.The "quiet American" of the title, Alden Pyle, is a thoughtful,soft-spoken, idealistic intellectual, yet his well-intentioned idealismis in the long run to prove destructive.When Greene's novel came out in 1955 it was widely criticised in the USas being anti-American, although in the light of what was to occurduring the Vietnam War Greene's criticism of American involvement inIndochina might today seem prescient. When the novel was filmed byJoseph Mankiewicz in 1958 he reversed its emphasis, making itanti-Communist rather than anti-American and making Pyle the hero ofthe story, with the result that Greene angrily disowned the film.The 2002 version of "The Quiet American" is closer to Greene'soriginal. The story is set in Saigon, Vietnam, in 1952, towards the endof French colonial rule. It is both a political drama and a personalone. The personal element involves a love-triangle between Pyle, aBritish journalist named Thomas Fowler and Fowler's beautifulVietnamese mistress Phuong. Fowler is unable to marry Phuong because heis already married; he is separated from his wife, who still lives inEngland, but she refuses to give him a divorce because of her Catholicreligion. (This is the only part which religion plays in the film.Unusually for a Greene story, none of the major characters is aCatholic). Unlike Fowler, Pyle can offer Phuong marriage and stability,and he succeeds in winning her affections, thus making an enemy ofFowler even though the two were once friends.The political element in the drama derives from the attempts of Pyle,who is working for American Intelligence, to set up a "Third Force" inVietnam to take on both the French colonialists and the VietnameseCommunists who had hitherto provided most of the opposition to Frenchrule. There is a sharp contrast drawn between Pyle and Fowler on both apersonal and a political level. Personally Pyle is sensitive andidealistic whereas Fowler is jaded, cynical and prepared to useunderhand methods to get what he wants. (One thing they have in commonis that both are sincerely in love with Phuong). On a political level,however, Pyle is unable to see that General Thé, the leader of theThird Force, is a ruthless megalomaniac with ambitions to become adictator, and is prepared to turn a blind eye to the terrorist methodsused by Thé's militia. Fowler, however, is clear-eyed enough to seethat American support for Thé is likely to prove disastrous.The difference between the two films lies in the difference between thepolitical climate of 1958 and that of 2002. In the fifties, during theCold War, it would have been unthinkable for Hollywood to have produceda film which was seen as pro-Communist or which criticised Americanforeign policy. Today, it would be almost equally unthinkable forHollywood to produce a film which argued that American involvement inthe Vietnam War was justified either politically or morally. Yet whatPyle is trying to do is not in principle objectionable; the Vietnamesepeople deserved more than a choice between remaining a de jure colonyof France or becoming a de facto colony of Stalinist Russia, and somesort of third force would have been needed to give democracy a chanceto work in the country. The tragedy of the war was that, the Americansnever really tried to foster Vietnamese democracy but relied too muchon authoritarian and often corrupt strongmen like Ngo Dinh Diem, towhom the 1958 film is dedicated.Sir Michael Caine clearly has an affinity with Greene's work, as hegave a very good performance in "The Honorary Consul" in 1983 and givesanother very good one here, brings out all the contradictory aspects ofFowler's character. (The film brought him the most recent of his sixOscar nominations). I did, however, think that, at 69, Caine was rathertoo old for the role, as Fowler is probably supposed to be about fiftyat the most. (The film ends with a montage of Vietnam War newspaperheadlines, all with Fowler's byline, implying that he was still workingfor his newspaper a decade and a half after the events shown in thisfilm).I was less impressed with the other performances. Phuong seemed toopassive a character, although the fault lay perhaps with thescriptwriter rather than the actress Do Thi Hai Yen, and Brendan Fraser(never my favourite actor) seemed unable to convey either Pyle'ssuspect idealism or his passion for Phuong. Overall, however, the filmworks well, on both the political and psychological levels. 7/10

Everybody needs a friend like Graham Greene
Great adaptation of one of the best writers of all times. Thefoundation is strong: we have Greene's work as the main attraction,with Phillip Noyce as captain of the ship, Michael Caine superblyguiding us, and a terrific plot to fill our minds completely withoceans of emotions. The result is obvious and I am not delighted to sayis one of the least commentated films ever judging its relevance.Pure cinematic gem! Everyone should own it on DVD, or at least have theprivilege to watch it.Interestingly in 2002 the director had a good roll and he also directedhis second best work after this one, Rabbit Proof Fence. Perhapsanother reminder of what he has done is Dead Calm, with Nicole Kidmanand Sam Neil being terrorized by Billy Zane in a new version ofPolanski's, Knife in Water.

"They say you come to Vietnam and understand a lot in a few minutes. The rest has got to be lived." - Thomas Fowler
What starts out as a simple beautifully set love story between threepeople turns out to be a very serious and intense political thriller.'The Quiet American' follows British news writer, Thomas Fowler(Michael Caine), and his life in Vietnam. He is married, but is in lovewith a beautiful Vietnamese girl, Phuong (Do Thi Hai Yen) and isshacking up with her. Phuong's sister hates this because Phuong can'tget married and be well off. Then enters, Pyle (Brendan Fraser), thequiet American as Fowler describes him. He falls in love with Phuong,and the film becomes sort of a contest for her love. Then Fowler startsto suspect Pyle being involved in C.I.A. mission to supply a violentmilitary party with bombs. 'The Quiet American' moves kind of slow, butthe film's sheer beauty and scenery will win you over. The acting isfirst-rate all the way with a stellar emotion-packed performance byMichael Caine who in more words than one makes the film. Do Thi Hai Yendoes a fine job while I was impressed with Brendan Fraser's (an actorI'm not to big on) great performance. Director Phillip Noyce hits itout of the park with this one. 'The Quiet American' isn't for everyoneand has some elements that could be construed as anti-American(although I really didn't think so). The film received an Oscarnomination for Michael Caine's wonderful performance. One of the bestfilms of 2002. Grade: B+
Spaceygirl (28 April 2012)
Quietly wonderful
The Quiet American is an unassuming little film, compelling some people tothink that its boring. It is, in fact, anything but boring. It tells thetale of a woman caught between two men, which in itself is merely a plotcontrivance comparing Vietnam to a woman caught between two lovers. In fact,the script has one of the main characters explaining this veryfact.The acting is outstanding - Michael Caine is in top-form and Brendan Fraserdelivers a career-best performance. The two main leads are so believablethat the lines between "good guy" and "bad guy" are blurred. All we're leftwith are two flawed characters trying to make the best of a bad situationwhich they find themselves in. They're both such gentlemen that one finds oneself empathising with eachcharacter which is extraordinary in an age where movies clearly define the"good guy" and the villain.An outstanding film, one that I can wholeheartedly recommend.
collipal-1 (26 April 2012)
Simply terrific
Philip Noyce is a director who usually fails on blockbuster Hollywoodmovies(like The bone collector or The saint )and a director who makes agreat work on small and independent movies like Rabbit proof fence orThe quiet American,the movie I'll talk about now.The quiet American isa great movie with excellent performances.The movie has a slow,butnever boring development.The movie takes its time to feature all thecharacters.The great Michael Caine makes a great performance and he hada very deserved Academy Award nomination.Brendan Fraser is alwaysconsidered as a clown for his appearance on mediocre comedies likeBlast from the past.But on serious movies like this one or Gods andmonsters,he shows he's a solid and underrated actor.The quiet Americanis a great movie I totally recommend.

This is good work. I came to it because i've recently re seenMinghella's Talented Mr.Ripley. This one had Mighella as an executiveproducer and, in fact, it has much of the strength in mood that he isoften able to give his films. That mood is based on specific culturalenvironments. That environment is always en formed by strong musicalnotes (here is another, quite good soundtrack work).Here we have something particularly interesting: the initial shot. Thisis made of a still landscape shot over the river in Saigan. We get tosee more than half the screen with river water, boats on it, houses,and bombs/explosions in a last plan. Than, suddenly, the camera movesdown, and we find out a dead body inside a boat right below us. Allthis is completed with sounds from the explosions and the off voicenarration by Caine, quite meaningful in its words to the wholedevelopment. The scene has (as most of the first scenes in films) thepower to take us into the specific world of the film. One has toappreciate how remarkably economical this one is done.So now we have the mood, the environment, we have a war, a orientalsociety, and foreign folks involved. Now the cinematic theme (instraight relation to the story told): all this is made around "seeing".Every faction in this conflict (the historic war conflict and thedramatic conflict between our three protagonists) has its ownparticular way to See things and always makes the effort to bend theworld to that vision. So we have the clear as water war situation.Communists, French, general The and the "third way" (americans). TheySee things their own way and more: they try to make people see theother factions the way they themselves see it. Check it: -the bombs one faction places in order to make people believe otherfaction did it;-Fraser's character who makes himself look like medical assistant (whoincidentally heals an eye disease) while in fact moves his way insecret to create the things he wants people to see (and interpret in aspecific way); -Diolacton, the product which is passed as being something to use inseveral products (among those it is supposed to strengthen eye glasswires!) but in fact is a compound used to produce bombs; Than we have our love triangle. Fraser (as a participant) and Caine (asa observer, a man who "Sees") link this story to the globalenvironment. Phuong's vision is in fact her sister's vision: marryingthe sister with an occidental man who can be married. Both men placetheir personal interests into trying to get the girl.All this construction is intelligent, the mood is well placed (and thefirst scene has lots to do with it), and the music is really powerfulin driving emotions, almost replacing what in other pictures would bemade through physical actions. The weak link here is Fraser. He is notthe guy for the role which, here, was really important, as a pivot, asdisestablishing element. I care about some of his works as a comedian,but he clearly doesn't know very well what to do here, and sometimes heeven becomes funny when he's supposed to be intense (in a dramaticway). Caine is many times in other films just vapid and grabbed to hisBritish posture as en former of his roles, but here he reallyunderstands the job, and delivers. He is the "quiet" actor, no Fraser.My evaluation: 4/5 http://www.7eyes.wordpress.com
