Expected much more than what I got

Rating: 2/10 (15 January 2012)

This is my first review. I feel compelled to write it, because although I'm not particularly fond of LeCarré's work, I do like almost each any every one of the actors in this movie. I found it was confusing, but not due to a complex narrative, or fast pace (which it lacks), but because it makes no sense at all. You might come out of the theater thinking, yeah there was a spy and it was difficult to catch him, and the storyline was dark and twisted. Actually it was pretty straight forward. It was a little bit foreseeable, and to make it worse many scenes added no meaning whatsoever to the plot. I want to believe that the book was much more interesting, and that some random and unnecessary details shown in the movie, have a strong impact on the story.
I would recommend that you watch it and come to your own conclusions. These are just mine.
