Review of Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (2011) by Jeremyp — 06 Jan 2012
It starts slowly and never builds beyond a simmer. It's well crafted but passionless, as is most of Le Carre's stuff, but the plotting is superb as it slowly reveals it's ending. Unfortunately it's a good guess who the villain is. Just ask the perennial give away question: "why is he in this movie?".
The problem is that so far from the cold war and so far from MI-6's dusty halls the movie comes across as a period piece, a nice slice of memorabilia.
