Additional InformationLET THE RIGHT ONE IN director Tomas Alfredson takes the helm for this adaptation of John Le Carre's novel about an ex-British agent who emerges from retirement to expose a mole in MI6. England, 1973: British Secret Intelligence Service (SIS) head Control (John Hurt) and his top-ranking lieutenant George Smiley (Gary Oldman) are both forced into retirement after a mission involving respected secret agent Jim Prideaux (Mark Strong) turns unexpectedly deadly. As the Cold War continues to escalate, suspicions of a Soviet double agent begin to grow within SIS. Subsequently summoned by Undersecretary Oliver Lacon (Simon McBurney), Smiley is secretly reemployed by the SIS in order to root out the double agent suspected of sharing top-secret British intelligence with the Soviets. Meanwhile, as Smiley and his new partner Peter Guillam (Benedict Cumberbatch) begin systematically examining all of the official missions and records involving MI6, the veteran spy can't help but recall an encounter he once had with Karla, a dangerous Russian operative, years prior. At first, uncovering the identity of the infiltrator seems nearly impossible. Smiley and Guillam get a big break, however, when undercover agent Ricki Tarr (Tom Hardy) reveals that he has fallen for a mysterious woman in Turkey named Irina (Svetlana Khodchenkova), who may have a crucial lead. Later, upon learning that Control had comprised a list of five possible suspects, code-named Tinker (Toby Jones), Tailor (Colin Firth), Soldier (Ciarßn Hinds), Poor Man (David Dencik), and Beggar Man -- none other than Smiley himself -- the investigation begins to heat up again.
ReviewsFilm 4 - One of the best-looking, best-acted spy movies we've seen in a long while., Guardian UK - What a treat this film is, and what an unexpected thrill., Daily Telegraph - Completely absorbing and a more than worthy companion piece to the 1979 BBC serialisation., Time Out - This spy story is all about the journey - the process - and the byways of the route, not the grand finale. This film's superb cast, script and direction threaten to make that journey equally as thrilling as Le CarrΘ's book.

Very Nicely Different
Gary Oldman is a brave man. Alec Guinness was a consummate Smiley for the Beeb, all the way down to cleaning his specs with his tie-end, and looking like a Bassett hound that had been pushed around by a benign but careless owner. Above all, Guinness remains an all-around legend for the variety of parts he'd played during his career. He ran the gamut. I'd not want go up against Sir Alec even if I thought I possessed the talent to do so. Yet Oldman did, and it wasn't suicidal hubris. The result is a different, yet highly convincing George. Equally, John Hurt stands up as an equally convincing Control. As for the rest of the cast, however, the movie format does not do either the actors, or the characters they play, justice. For instance Ciarán Hinds as Roy Bland (though I found Hinds’ Caesar wanting in the US series Rome) seemed almost invisible after the introductory scenes. Even Colin Firth (as Bill Hayden) looks almost like an incidental spear-carrier. Forget Tinker, Tailor… this is all about Beggar Man George Smiley. And I’m okay with that. Oldman convinced me that there’s an alternate ‘real-life’ version of Smiley to Guinness (and yes, I’ve read the book too, and Smiley’s People, before I get whinged at by pedants). These Georges live in parallel universes, and so each is as valid as the other in their own time. Which would I watch again? Both, happily, but I confess that I’d be more likely to reach for the BBC version first.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
