The Sympathizer(2024 )

Based on the novel by Viet Thanh Nuyen, The Sympathizer explores the last days of the Vietnam War through the eyes of a half-Vietnamese, half-French spy serving for the communist regime. The TV series adaptation is set-up as a mini-series and will likely still be framed as a confession from the protagonist as they make their way through the war. Photo is of the original novel cover.

As seen in the chart above , Downey Jr. has only been in two movies over the last 10 age that did n’t make mostly overconfident reviews . One of these isDolittle , his critically - pan out funniness , while the other is 2014’sThe Judge , a criminal offense drama . Other than those two outliers , his lowest grade of the last 10 age is for 2015’sAvengers : Age of Ultron , and even that motion picture seat at a healthy 76 % .
Robert Downey Jr. ’s landmark Oscar profits score a career high spot of the far-famed thespian , who finally accept home an Academy Award for Nolan ’s epic film .
After winning an Oscar for his role inOppenheimer , The Sympathizerserves as yet another reminder that Downey Jr. is an exceptional talentwhether he ’s playing Iron Man or not . The miniseries also marks an interesting first for the actor since he is dally four separate – and very decided – character in it . It remains to be seen how audiences reply toThe Sympathizer , but the miniseries is manifestly off to a promising start .
