This is the latest adaptation of John le Carre's famous spy thriller. This time around Gary Oldman plays George Smiley, the spy forced into retirement but then secretly called back to find a Russian mole in his former chain of command.
While the acting is good and le Carre certainly knows his subject matter having served with British Intelligence during the cold war, I still found this movie to be interesting but not great. If you're a fan of detail overloaded spy thrillers and you liked The Russia House and The Little Drummer Girl, then by all means go now and see it. Personally, it's not my bag.
