Makes espionage seem dreadfully dull

Rating: 3/10 (20 July 2018)

This just goes to show that just because a film features Gary Oldman, Colin Firth, Tom Hardy and Benedict Cumberbatch does not make it good. Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy mumbles along for what seems like an eternity and makes espionage seem dreadfully dull. The moments of suspense or intrigue are few and far between and, frankly, not worth the wait. I'm surprised this is the movie that got Gary Oldman an acting nomination - he did fine, but this is far from his best performance.
