Theo James, whose voice is quite engaging and easy on the ears, also narrates 'BFB,' which helps us follow this complicated fictionalized version of Michael Soussan's compelling memoir.

This is a fascinating, outrage-provoking story but director Per Fly's bid to turn it into a cloak-and-dagger thriller falls disappointingly flat.

Ben Kingsley - who is always great - does some scenery-chewing as Soussan's more experienced boss, but even Kingsley's presence isn't enough to make things work.

[A]n intelligent, well-crafted political thriller based on the memoirs of Michael Soussan, an idealistic American diplomat who pulls the lid off a United Nations corruption scandal.

Rating: 2/5 --
Backstabbing for Beginners doesn't convey the complexities of this scandal nor the troubled, compromised humanity of its characters.
