Glad I saw it, but tedious and exhausting.

I have to side with vo0ds and nbplopes.

I haven't enjoyed a spy movie as much as this one in a very long time. The slow pace and the scarce dialogues create an even darker and more cruesome environment than just habving people running around shooting at stuff.

@bindermichi my only regret is my dad is no longer with us, he’d love it.

Haven't enjoyed so much a movie for a long time as much as I enjoyed this one.

This is not shoot 'em up with gun, looks and predictable drama. Rather then shoot them with words, discrete yet effective violence, with great acting and swirls of intense dialogs.

Brilliant!

Most movies hold your hand and spoon feed you the story; 'Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy' steals your spoon, blindfolds you, and pushes you down some stairs. Greatly enjoyed its change of pace and approach. George Smiley is Batman.

Admittedly this is a slow-burn of a film, full of meaningful looks, pregnant pauses and one that hints at deeper and more complex plot strands but it has an authentic air and it is a fascinating to observe a build-up of tension and cold-war paranoia which culminates in a dramatic if subdued fashion.

I still don't know who or what mattered and can't figure out why I hung in there to the end. What a horrible waste of a brilliant cast. 4/10

This is one of those films that separate the real film appreciators from the average Joe. When you read "spy movie" you probably think that this is going to be some James Bond movie. It is far, far from that. I absolutely loved it. Gary Oldman couldn't have said more than 200 words in the whole movie and he was phenomenal.

This is probably one of those kinds of movies that is a litmus test for the kind of movie viewer you are (I recently thought the same of The Station Agent).  If you can appreciate and love a film like this you and I are probably going to get along alright.

I feel like I've rated this thing a bit high this time, simply because I'd seen it before and I didn't have to try so hard to figure out what was happening. Or maybe I just knew not to try and follow the details. So instead I was just watching the cinematography and acting. Both of those are pretty wonderful.

Especially John Hurt. He plays a wonderful jerk boss who must not be loved by too many people.

Perfect in every way. The directing, the performances, the writing, the set design, the editing, the music. Every way. :blush:

>"It's the oldest question of all, George. Who can spy on the spies?"

This feels like a love letter to older spy movies. It is slow, detailed, a little intense at times without having too much action, and requires a lot of concentration to not get lost at times. Unfortunately I did get lost a little but overall I enjoyed the complexities of it.

>PETER GUILLAM Ricki Tarr, sir. One of my scalp-hunters. He’s been on the wanted list for a year. Last job was Istanbul, bit of coat-trailing for a Russian convention.
LACON Why is he on the wanted list?
PETER GUILLAM He killed our man in Istanbul. Cut his throat. Been on the run since then.
LACON My God. In my own home... my family... The bloody animals you people employ!
