Is the movie The Quiet American available on Netflix, Disney+, Prime or Apple TV+?

From the Stream Tracker team — The Quiet American (2002) is a fog-of-war drama set in Saigon, where a cynical British journalist, Thomas Fowler, finds himself caught between a naïve U.S. operative and a young Vietnamese woman. Directed by Phillip Noyce and adapted from Graham Greene’s novel, the film folds a tense love triangle into a study of moral ambiguity, political intrigue and the price of betrayal — Fowler’s tip-off to the communists about the American’s arms dealings has devastating consequences. Michael Caine’s restrained turn as Fowler earned him the Best Actor prize at the 2002 Cannes Film Festival. Below, Stream Tracker checks whether you can stream The Quiet American on Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video or AppleTV+.
