The high cost of spying

Rating: 10/10 (14 January 2012)

This film in a nutshell is about the high cost of spying to the spy. When you watch a Bond film..you never feel his life has been lessened in anyway, rather it's enhanced by it.
It this film the real heart of it is just that.
The toll it takes on the spy.
I thought that was refreshing and closer to the mark. Look at the real life case of Valerie Plame, one of our homegrown spies. It's always portrayed with such glamour. This rings truer.
Great ensemble acting...Oldman is brilliant as is Mark Strong and Colin Firth in supporting roles. Bravo!
