Summary: 

I saw a (free!) sneak preview of The Little Drummer Girl
a few weeks ago. I had started reading the book last summer,
but I only got about a third of the way through it.
Anyway, I really enjoyed the movie while I was watching it.
The plot hangs together better than anything I've seen in a while.

A few days later, when I started thinking about the movie, I felt
like they had just gone through the motions of the plot.
All of the actions were there, but WHY things were happening wasn't 
very clear.

In spite of this, I would recommend the movie. You can't help caring
what happens to the characters, and I especially liked the way the
good and bad on both sides (Israel and the PLO) was shown.
