Despite its innately thrilling subject matter (globe-trotting spies! Soviet moles!), Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy is an assured, thoughtfully paced movie, slow to reveal its secrets. Of course, secrets become even more irresistible in the presence of actors like Tom Hardy and a perfectly cast Gary Oldman as the mild-mannered George Smiley, John le Carré’s most enduring hero. Smiley and company’s brand of espionage is at least as much about psychology and manipulation as it is fake mustaches and car chases, and Tinker is a well-calibrated blend of exciting spy shenanigans and character observations. The film’s biggest accomplishment, though, is that it doesn’t spoon-feed the audience a single thing: not a name, not a character relationship, not a hero, not a villain. But it’s all there, if you’re paying attention. (See Movie Times)

This movie is outstanding. Check it out.
This movie sucked. We both were in iPad/laptop land within 20 minutes, and decided to call it about halfway through.
Slow story and not interesting enough to keep attention.
@2 y’all were in laptop ipod land IN a movie theaer ?.. WHILE the film was showing ? sounds like all kinds of clueless to me.
@2 Holy shiyt, you sir are kindly asked to diaff
I’ve only heard bad things about this movie.
Only go to this movie if you really really enjoy spy movies. otherwise you will really really hate this movie and want to leave the theater after 10 minutes.
also, spy movie does not = James Bond
@2 You’ve gotta be a troll. Bored or not, there’s no excuse for acting like a jackass in the theater. So the movie isn’t for you, that doesn’t mean you get to be a prick to others around you as a result.
