Review of Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (2011) by Tvjerry — 07 Jan 2012
This big-screen adaptation of the le Carre novel is not like most modern spy flicks: There are no chases, fights or shocking twists. It revolves around an English spy organization in the 70s and the search for a Russian mole in the higher ranks.
Gary Oldman heads the impressive cast as the man hired to find the culprit. The complex machinations are carried out methodically, which means very slowly. Much of what happens, suspicious glances, swiping folders and other dull dealings, is simply confusing (guess it helps to read the novel).
When the truth is revealed, it's really no big surprise, making the movie even more of a letdown.
