A: Based on a book by John Le Carre, this story chronicles the uncovering of whether or not there is a double agent at the highest levels of British Intelligence who is working for the Russians.
Q: Who’s in the movie?
A: Gary Oldman, Colin Firth, Tom Hardy, Toby Jones, Ciaran Hinds, John Hurt, Mark Strong, Benedict Cumberbatch, David Dencik, Stephen Graham, Kathy Burke, Svetlana Khodchenkova, Peter Kalloy Molnar, Konstantin Kahabenskiy
Q: Is this movie worth the price of admission?
A:
Proceed with Caution. Bring your intellect, your patience, and try to have read the book 5 or 6 times already if you plan on understanding anything that goes on in this spy thriller.Q: Will this movie make me laugh?
A: Yes, but mostly at your own thoughts about how confused you are.
Q: Will this movie make me cry?
A: Yes, because the above noted thoughts of confusion will probably lead you directly to thoughts about how dumb you must be.
Q: Will this movie be up for any awards?
A: This definitely gets the award for Fastest Movie to Put Me Out. I was snoozing before the opening credits came on, and leading up to this point, I had not had a very hard day.
Q: How is the Acting?
A: All of these top notch actors have very little to do that's challenging. Sure one or two of them cries here and there, but mostly they all just stand around looking like tough-guys who can keep a secret or two.
Q: How is the Directing?
A: It's a beautifully shot movie, but as it goes back and forth between the past (1950s) and the present (1970s), it's not always clear which one we're in.
Q: How is the story/script?
A: Mostly incomprehensible. Assuming that the book makes enough sense to have become a best-seller, which in turn would have attracted a film company who wants to capitalize on that by making it into a movie, I would venture to say that the screenwriter didn't dumb it down enough.
Q: Is there anything else worth mentioning about the movie?
A: I just realized that reading the Wikipedia page is a great help in understanding this story. They explain all the "inside lingo" that you're supposed to understand without ever having it explained to you. Perhaps read that before you go see this. Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy Wikipedia Page
Q: Where can I see the trailer?
A: Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy Trailer
