Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy (Tomas Alfredson)


Pretty darn good remake of the 70s television mini-series based on the LeCarre novel.  Of course, transforming the tale into a 2-hour feature movie requires much condensing, and I found the first 45-minutes very confusing.  Once, however, all the characters are introduced and the main plot elements laid out, the film was a great thriller.

Great good shots emphasizing the nature of constant watching and being watched.  I especially liked the opening Budapest shot.

Recommend.
