Not changed for the good !

Rating: 5/10 (3 July 2018)

Certainly a watchable adaptation of LeCarre's brilliant novel, but this version pales in comparison to the BBC production starring Sir Alec Guinness and an all star supporting cast. Too many changes simply for the sake of putting a personal thumbprint on this version . Why was Peter Guillam gay? Why Hungary and not Czechoslovakia as in the book? While the supporting cast in this version was also star studded, the script was second rate and Gary Olin single handedly carried this poorly crafted production. It's the comparison between the Original version that makes this movie much less than brilliant. Shame.
