That's fair, I suffer from an incessant comparison with the book, and that's just a recipe for disappointment usually. I admit I did really like Michael Caine in the 2002 version. I've always admired his work, starting with
The Man Who Would be King and
Zulu, both classics

I need to see
Havana, I haven't yet. I love Greene's writing though, he manages to truly capture the feel of a place. I spent two years in Haiti 2003-5, and his book nailed it.
