Most helpful review Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy

  • Ponderous deliberation

    Rated - 5.0 stars

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    For anyone expecting a fast moving, visually spectacular event punctuated with special effects as regurgitated by Hollywood this is not the film for you. For those familiar with the pace of John le carre it is an accurate portrayal of pace with intrigue ponderously unfolding with thoughtly deliberation. A must for a chess player!

    Awful film. Rubbish acting, slow plot line and endless irrelevant period shots - we know what era it was set in!!

    I was disappointed by this film. Unfortunately that is 2 hours of my life that I wont get back. Good = Good cast, interesting plot. Bad = The good points don't make up for long and boring movie.

    I am sorry, compared with the original BBC series this is awful. It misses out most of the interesting plot twists from the book. Just not impressed.

    Great film, stylishly set in the period, authentic to the original John Le Carre novel with some great performances across the board. Any chance of a follow-up with Smileys People, or dare I ask the Honourable Schoolboy ?

    Gary Oldman was excellent. We would happily watch this again. Great acting, suspense, scenery and atmosphere. Held us right to the end. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
