Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Wendy Ide Times (UK) Stepping into the shoes of Alec Guinness, Gary Oldman, in a performance of restrained inscrutability, captures perfectly the character of John le Carré’s seasoned spy George Smiley...

Rated: 4/5 Dec 3, 2021 Full Review Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Deborah Ross The Spectator So beautifully executed and so visually absorbing and so atmospherically hypnotic that I wonder this: would it have been awfully greedy to have hoped to have wholly understood it, too?

Cheslav T A calm, deep, complex yet intense spy movie that I still enjoy watch till today. The sence setup and details are amazing, drastically different from those with aggrasive and dramatic fight/CGI movies, which usually has very little plot over storyline and character details. This is the type of film that you can sit alone in the dark, light up a pipe and enjoy the night. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/28/24 Full Review David F This is a classic spy story, filmed once before as a mini series. This version features an all star cast and tremendous period detail, capturing the Cold War paranoia perfectly. The plot of this story is so complex that it might be beyond the possibility of ever being a truly great film, a medium that requires a certain measure of straightforwardness or simplicity to achieve greatness. But this is a suave and sophisticated and fairly faithful adaptation of the spy thriller. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/28/24 Full Review Alec C Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy; three speak the truth and one is telling lies! As George Smiley begins his retirement, he secretly investigates a Soviet mole within the Circus, leading to a dangerous investigation that concerns the highest positions of power in MI6, making this a mission that's off the record. Espionage has never looked so engrossing, with complex characters and interconnected stories leading to a conclusion that hits you like a whiplash! Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/24 Full Review Koda _ An interesting story with a great cast, but very, very slow. Something I watched again by accident (just came on whilst I was doing work) and not something that I would ever watch again. Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/24 Full Review Stefan à For me, the movie ended in the best imaginable way for a thriller; it ended with a deep sigh. I hadn't realized it, but it was as if I had been holding my breath during the whole movie. Intense suspense without anything to disturb the immersive feeling that this is exactly how being a spy felt like. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/09/24 Full Review Nathan H Bare-bones to the point of becoming opaque, this masterfully spare adaptation benefits greatly from viewer familiarity with the novel or BBC show. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/18/24 Full Review Read all reviews
