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.
