confusing but interesting

Rating: 7/10 (28 February 2012)

While watching the movie, I was so confused to understand how the story goes. Also, as a foreign audience, i had some troubles to remember and tell the characters' last names, first names, secret code names, etc. I had not read the books, and maybe that's the reason why i felt this film is quite hard to follow... my brain went through the tough time.
However, I also think that it is very worth to watch it, because I might have unconsciously felt that movies on spy are supposed to be splendid and full of visually thrilling stuff. Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy actually broke the stereotype, and i'm grateful. Besides, in fact there are lots of scenes which make my palms sweaty even though the movies go so calm and silent all the time. This is very interesting and brilliant. I think this movie is one you should watch if interested in spy genres. Though the movie seems to struggle to carry the whole story of books in it, i would like to applaud the director and the writer for their talents in telling the story. Also, all the actors did so great jobs in this film. I loved their works.
