If you loved The Fourth Protocol, try The Honorary Consul

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. The Honorary Consul has roughly 3.3× fewer votes than The Fourth Protocol — it's a deeper cut, not a mainstream recommendation. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by John Mackenzie, and they sit in Action territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Fourth Protocol, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Honorary Consul is

Here's a film that really wants to get into Graham Greene territory. A doctor in a volatile Latin American country finds himself caught between a British consul and the consul's alluring wife. At least one person involved seems to have read a book before.
