South Korean auteur Park Chan-wook remains true to form in his fascinating but convoluted adaptation of The Sympathizer, Viet Thanh Nguyen's Pulitzer Prize-winning debut novel. The seven-episode HBO limited series is a winding odyssey in duality. Set during and after the Vietnam War, the protagonist, a double agent anonymously referred to as the "Captain," navigates duplicity, treachery, and gnawing guilt in a darkly comic tale with harrowing emotional turns. Park's stylish visuals and superb cast, including a chameleon-like performance from Robert Downey Jr. in multiple roles, lift an overly complex narrative with intermittent pacing issues.
