Review: Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy
Dry, nearly dusty, and moving so slowly that it might seem at first to be moving backwards, Tomas Alfredson’s adaptation of John Le Carre’s Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy is fine and rewarding in the long run – but it is a very, very long run. Our “hero,” George Smiley, barely seems to be doing anything at all, investigating what I would consider a rather crucial lapse in security at MI6 with the armchair detachment of a retired gentleman picking away at the New York Times crossword. But this is part of the film’s strategy.
