Review of Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (2011) by Irvin C — 06 Apr 2013
This is a slow-burn spy thriller set during the cold war. It gets a bit slow and hard-to-follow in the beginning but gradually picks up and becomes rather gripping. Gary Oldman gives a remarkably controlled and subtle performance as a veteran agent trying to ferret out a mole in their agency.
He is supported by an amazing ensemble of actors especially Tom Hardy and Benedict Cumberbatch. It's also very skillfully directed by Tomas Alfredson and the design, cinematography and score are all impeccable.
Definitely worth your time.
