Tomas Alfredson's adaptation of John Le Carre's celebrated Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy flat-out fails in its efforts to grab ya in a breathless, page-turning spy thriller way. It achieves, however, something far more interesting - a striking look at what British intelligence really (okay, probably) was like in the early 1970s.
Gary Oldman, Colin Firth, Tom Hardy, Benedict Cumberbatch, and Mark Strong star. Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy is currently playing in theaters. Read Jordan Hoffman's review.
