A refreshing change

Rating: 8/10 (21 January 2012)

My wife and I enjoyed this movie very much. Neither of us had prior knowledge of the book or TV series, however that didn't get in the way of a riveting story.
I was mesmerized as we were taken on a journey into the world of espionage, a real cloak and dagger affair. The combination of slower pace and a wonderful 'look' set the emotion.
The cast was very strong and especially Gary Oldman was brilliant. Would have liked to have seen more of Hurt.
This movie is not for the action / shootem'up / fire a nail into my head accidentally crowed.
