Review of Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (2011) by Amber S — 02 Jun 2013
Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy is the ultimate spy film. It's realistic, but at the same time mysterious, while also making various twists and turns. Gary Oldman plays George Smiley, a retired British spy, who is called back into action to try to find a mole in MI6.
Oldman is perfect as George Smiley, bringing a very silent performance to the character. Other actors are also perfectly cast, such as Colin Firth, Benedict Cumberbatch, Mark Strong, John Hurt and Tom Hardy.
The cinematography is also very bleak, perfectly matching England of the 1970s, while Tomas Alfredson's direction is marvelous. The film moves slowly, but is a fantastic watch and one that has to be carefully paid attention to.
