Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy. [View all]

Saw this last night and I have to say it was really very good. Gary Oldman was superb as Smiley. The movie was perfectly paced so that even if you didn't know the story, hadn't read the book, didn't see the BBC series, you still got drawn into the tale...

Zero flash, subtle sub-plot under-currents, sparse dialogue, and a boatload of suspense, truly a masterpiece...Highly recommend it.

Do NOT go if you prefer your spy tales to include car chases, hot chicks, tons of explosions and impossible stunts...This one makes you engage your brain instead...
