A well done adults' movie..

Rating: 10/10 (18 August 2017)

Yes it's a spying movie takes place during the cold war, but it's much more than that... It's a story about loyalty and betrayal, honesty and cheating, it's a story about love, loneliness, and disappointment... It's one of those movies that you would watch over and over again enjoying the details in it..
If you're a Bond's fan don't watch this movie because it's not your cup of tea. There's no action and over movements in this movie, there's no unbeatable hero in here facing half of the world and getting a sexy lady in the end...
"Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy" is a highly respected classy picture and I can't name something in this movie wasn't good..
The story is so good so elegant so realistic and when there's nothing going on outside there're lots going on inside every character, particularly Smiley who you should pay attention for every simple act he would do because from the beginning he knows a lot more than what we think he does...
I loved the soundtrack so much, the songs too were so appropriate and made the scenes perfectly complete.
The direction was pretty good and nicely done by the talented Swedish director Tomas Alfredson.
The cast was wonderful -you can't go wrong with a British cast like that!- I have to say Kathy Burke is always a great actress and I really enjoyed her scene. Colin Firth, John Hurt, Mark Strong, Toby Jones, Benedict Cumberbatch and Tom Hardy all of them did a lovely work in the movie, But Gary Oldman's performance is from a whole different level! The amount of emotions he managed to deliver to us without expressing them out loud, he did it just by his way of looking, talking and remaining silent when words weren't needed... he was terrific, impressive, and stunning.
The little bit of private life for some of the characters(Jim Prideaux and the school boy, Connie Sachs, Peter Guillam and his partner, Ricki Tarr and his girl, George Smiley and his wife) gave them a human dimension and made them much real to me.
Once again it's a grown-ups' movie if you want to enjoy it pleas pay attention to the details and I assure you it's completely worth it.
