Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy is a British spy film starring Gary Oldman as George Smiley. To me, I have always been a fan of spy films from United Kingdom which mostly revolved around MI6 but however this film is different from the films that I usually watched from the UK. Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy is a film concerning about a mole from Karla, working "at the top of the Circus" and this theory was created by Control (John Hurt). In order to find out the mole, Smiley was forced out of semi-retirement and chose a few men including Peter Guillam (Benedict Cumberbatch) to help out in the investigation.
What this film amazed me was that there were not much fight scenes. Most of the time, the characters uses words, codes and intelligence to get information. I loved how dark this film was and the use of gay couples (you would know if you watched the film). However, I dislike how slow the film was at the starting. I admit that I watched this film twice because I could not get the whole storyline when I first watched but once I watched again, this film now totally makes sense. This film is specially targeted on mature audience (mostly adults) and if you are not one of them, then I suggest that you do not touched this film.
Overall of Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy was not too bad, though I watched twice. The film also showed how secret agent's life was back in the Cold War in the 1970s. I recommend this film for those who prefer "brainy films" and if you want action, then I suggest that this film isn't for you.
Rating: 3.8/5
