A great film.

Rating: Null/10 (22 September 2011)

I read some of the reviews on this board before I went to see the film and am fairly puzzled by some of the haters who slated this film. It is good film, but it isn't going to be liked by everyone although it does not deserve to be slated by morons. John le Carre lovers and those with a brain and an understanding of real life spy stories and the cold war will love it, but there are millions of who will never get it.
There are several really stupid reviews but I single out one by jackcarver2009 who went to see the film with his mother and his aunt. In a painfully feeble attempt to be funny he wrote that the two women found it more painful than childbirth. Hilarious, so so funny jack..you sound like a very silly ten year old who was taken to the pictures by Mumsy and auntie Doris, who sadly got 'Tinker Tailor' mixed up with 'The Smurfs'..you were watching the wrong movie you dimwits.
This is a very good film and not to be missed, it is dark but that's what real life cold war espionage was like. Gary Oldman delivers a great performance as Smiley and the cast, direction and screenplay are all superb. I would advise anybody who lives in the real world to go and see this film.
