Charlie in 'The Little Drummer Girl' might think of herself as someone who is bold enough to deal with situations on her own but she still isn't aware of what she is getting into.
South Korean director Chan Wook Park is best known for his authentic visualization of scenes, and he brought in almost all of those elements in the alluringly captivating adaptation of John Le Carre's 1983 novel, 'The Little Drummer Girl'. Based in the 1979 Greece, a time when the Arab-Israel conflict was in full swing, the story follows the young aspiring actress, Charlie (played by Florence Pugh) who is lured to Athens by a mysterious stranger (played by Alexander Skarsgard) when her troupe is suddenly invited for a vacation in Greece. The vacation soon turns out to be a complete blur for Charlie who will now work with undercover secret agents, as they try to hunt down an Israeli terrorist unit.
