How Disappointing

Rating: 3/10 (18 February 2012)

It's probably an age thing. If you saw the original version then there's no contest between Alec Guinness and Ian Richardson and Gary Oldman and Colin Firth. The latter do their best, but it doesn't get within a mile of the original. No menace and very little drama in comparison.
For those who've penned effusive praise of this version, give yourselves an early Christmas present and see the original.
I was particularly disappointed by the meeting in the safe house. It was confusing at best and unfathomable at worst.
Oscar standard - I think not.
