Backstabbing for Beginners (2018)
It's worth watching if you have a subscription but don't rush out to buy it.

A tale of nepotism in action,
Take the plot with a pinch of salt, a rather dry true story of bribery and corruption has been sexed up more than the famous dossier that led to the invasion.
The romantic subplot felt unnecessary and was shoehorned in, as per usual.
Ben Kingsley was excellent, whilst his language seemed out of character to me for a diplomat his performance was stunning.
SPOILERS BELOW
a pragmatist who worked with corrupt system available in order to save as many lives as possible or a heartless profiteer is up to the audience to decide.
What this film lacks more than anything is the list of high profile names of those involved.
