This is a complicated film, particularly if you (like me) haven't read the book. Never the less, if you pay attention, you should soon figure out whats going on. If you like films demanding of your attention, and appealling to your intellect, you can't go past Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. It's genuinely intriguing, and entertaining. Gary Oldman plays the lead role stunningly, and is supported by equally as good co-stars. The whole ‘feel’ of this film is fantastic, the tone is perfectly balanced, the acting superb, and other than the complexity of the plot, this film could not be any better.

To quote Graeme Tuckett (film reviewer for ‘The Dominion Post’, who gave the film 4.5 stars) “Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy is a rare film, of a rare book. I could not have been more relieved, and impressed, by how it has turned out.”
