Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy
horizontal line

After a British Secret Intelligence Service (aka MI-6) agent (Mark Strong) is suddenly murdered in Budapest in 1973 in this disappointing, lackluster, convoluted, slow-paced, dialogue-heavy, star-dotted (Kathy Burke, Benedict Cumberbatch, Tom Hardy, and Simon McBurney) spy thriller, which is based on John le CarrĂ©'s popular bestselling Cold War espionage novel, a retired covert operative (Gary Oldman) is lured out of retirement by a government bigwig (John Hurt) to begin an investigation into which senior agent may be a Soviet mole/double agent and learns that the upper ups have already narrowed down the suspects to five people, four agents with the codenames tinker (Toby Jones), tailor (Colin Firth), soldier (CiarĂ¡n Hinds), and spy (David Dencik) and himself.
