The Honorary Consul (1983) – DVD | Richard Gere | Michael Caine | Graham Greene Thriller
A botched kidnapping. A friendship tested to its limits. And a moral reckoning in the heart of South America. Based on Graham Greene’s acclaimed novel and directed by John Mackenzie, The Honorary Consul (released in the US as Beyond the Limit) is a tense and morally complex 1983 political thriller set in a remote Argentine border town. When revolutionaries accidentally kidnap a minor British consul instead of their intended target, a British doctor with ties to both sides finds himself caught in an impossible situation.
Starring Richard Gere as the conflicted doctor and Michael Caine in a deeply moving performance as the hapless honorary consul, this is one of the finest Graham Greene adaptations ever made.
