Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy



What I liked:
  • Fantastic ensemble cast: Gary Oldman, Colin Firth, Mark Strong, John Hurt, Toby Jones, Ciaran Hinds, Benedict Cumberbatch, and Tom Hardy.
  • Oldman gives another stand out performance.  He's so good at blending into the character.
  • It's Boardwalk Empire'sAl Capone (Stephen Graham)!
  • I love all of the code words: The Circus, the grownups, Control...
  • The hair and makeup people did an excellent job.
  • They made a fun website for the film: http://www.tinker-tailor-soldier-spy.com/
What I didn't like:
  • The story wsa interesting but pretty confusing.  The audience never learns everything that the characters learn yet we are expected to know it.
  • Oldman looks like Al Pacino on these movie posters:


Grade: B
