If you liked the trailer then save your money and wait for the pop-up

Rating: 1/10 (12 January 2012)

There has only been one other film that wasted my money more than this one and that was "Birth." From the trailer I was expecting a heart stopping action packed thriller. It was neither. The story was very disjointed. The director tried to tie it all together at the end but I was already tired of it by then. The acting was so-so, typically British. It was dark and I felt like I had just been exposed to a series of unrelated clips. Anyone who likes this movie must like drinking fish oil. Like I said, save your money. I have to say that in the film Birth at least it could have been revived by a simple rewrite of the ending. I could not imagine any kind of rewrite that could have even brought this film up to zombie category let alone alive. Half way through the movie you finally get a sense of what the heck Tinker, Tailor and Sailor had to do with the film but I must have dosed off when the Spy aspect became apparent. I was waiting and waiting but it never came. I would have included a spoiler in this review just to help dissuade readers from wasting their money but I don't think I could come up with climactic ending. I see a lot of movies and have never written a review because I never felt strong enough one way or the other until this one.
