Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy
on DVD
(2011)
Starring: Tom Hardy, Colin Firth, Gary Oldman
Director: Tomas Alfredson
Certificate: 
Saw this last night after much anticipation and I loved it. Yes, it's slow, yes you need to concentrate, yes there's not much action. I wanted the film to go on and on, after two hours I felt I'd barely been in the cinema at all. Gary Oldman, Colin Firth, Mark Strong, Roger Lloyd-Pack, Kathy Burke and indeed everyone turns in a career performance here. Condensing this multi-layered book into only two hours has clearly been hard but it was worth it. That said, I could have sat there for three or four because the cinematography, music, casting etc are ravishing. If you have a nostalgia for the seventies (I was born in 1967) and if you like my other favourite movies: The American, Michael Clayton - you'll love it. If you like Vin Diesel movies... you won't!
