It is a story which can't be done in a two-hour film and needed a six-hour miniseries to properly do the events and characters justice.
If you haven't seen it, it's out on Blu-ray/DVD shortly (if not already), so do yourself a favour and rent or buy a copy.

A fantastic fact in case you didn't know. The bloke in the lobster scene with Hollander is in fact John Le Carre.
