Just wow

Rating: 9/10 (14 July 2012)

There is a lot of spoilers a review for a film like this can provide but i will try my best not to spoil anything.
The plot of this film centers around an intelligent agent trying to find a mole which is high up in the "circus" (a fictional MI5 agency). Saying that, the film is way more complex and confusing then the one line synopsis i wrote and has so many layers for us, the audience to explore.
I love this film so much i can write a novel praising this film but there is a character limit.
Firstly, if you haven't read the book, you are not at any disadvantage for not knowing it in depth like some other books i am not going to name (Harry Potters).
First of all, the directing is just amazing and i think is the star of this star studded film. The way we feel like an outsider peeking in to this world of betrayal and deception.
The acting is just phenomenal from Gary Oldman who i think was robbed from an Oscar because he inhabited the role and Lt. Gordon or the corrupt cop from Leon disappeared and he has now developed another iconic figure in his legendary career. This has got to be the best British cast in a film and if you are looking at this review... Then you probably know who is in it.
Overall, this film is highly recommended and is a fantastic watch, but if you are looking for an action, adrenaline rush. The go to Blockbusters and rent Transformers. If you want a fascinating, brilliantly made film, then give this one a shot.
