The Quiet American (2002)

Poster for The Quiet American

In war, the most powerful weapon is seduction.

Cynical British journalist Fowler falls in love with a young Vietnamese woman but is dismayed when a naïve U.S. official also begins vying for her attention. In retaliation, Fowler informs the communists that the American is selling arms to their enemy.
