Boring for most people

Rating: 2/10 (18 August 2012)

Over 2 hours of slow talk, feels almost like a movie shot at a retirement home. I think most movie goers will consider it a typical boring foreign movie. My girl friend was bored quickly, it's a special movie made for movie reviewers and artists more than for the general public.
I endured watching it twice as I know the book is famous from the cold war, as I found it a bit confusing to watch the first time where I had to do some guesswork. You have to be fully awake to follow the story.
A UK spy has been shot by KGB in the east block due to a mole feeding the KGB. His boss is fired and a colleague (Oldman) investigates, the movie has a sort of happy ending. The weather is a constant grey, like the movie.
