Review of Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (2011) by Arslan K — 09 Jun 2015

Such a wonderful puzzle. This film is a puzzle and you the audience must figure it out until the end of course. The problem is that it leaves to much to the audience to figure out for example I had no idea that control, smiley, circus were actual names on people and things until the middle of the movie.

This film doesn't really tell you much about why smiley and control are forced out and stuff. Th story also gets very confusing I think it or confusing for me because I was probably watching at night and not paying much attention to it.

Another thing that bothered me was how Tom Hardy's character was just left out at the end. But that's all little things which are personal problems not necessarily everyone problem. I think this was amazing though, I am very good at figuring out these movie and this one took me a while to figure out who the "mole" was, probably 25 minutes before the reveal.

One of the best thing about this movie is the cast. Benedict cumberbatch, tom hardy, Gary oldman, john hurt, mark strong, Collin Firth. You cannot go wrong with this cast and they don't. Also the wiring was excellent.

I will definitely watch this again because I must to fully understand and to appreciate it more and probably give it a 9 or 10. Overall from its phenomenal cast to its story this is an amazing spy movie! Also the ending shot was amazing!
