Against the backdrop of a politically dysfunctional Lebanon, screenwriter Tony Gilroy strived to develop the interior psychology of his hero in the manner of master spy novelist John le Carré. "His books were extraordinary, although they didn't always make for good movies because they were so hard to condense," Gilroy said. "I was highly motivated by the idea of designing a le Carré type film that could be put in a two-hour frame. And then the idea of a character like Mason [Jon Hamm], who's faced with great disappointment, that's very much a John le Carré thing."
