Coma Inducingly Boring

Rating: 1/10 (11 January 2012)

This movie was so thoroughly disengaging and completely uninteresting, I found myself examining the scenes for a sign the movie would end soon. I couldn't tell. Almost every scene was utterly flat and pointless. The movie could have ended at nearly any moment without seeming abrupt. That's how slow this film was. Smiley killed every scene he was in. Any energy it may have had immediately died, shriveled, and crumbled to dust. One sidelong smirk merged into the next as the scenes slowly crept by. I prayed each closeup of Smiley's slack, expressionlessly face would be his last.
Unless you enjoy utter boredom, skip this pointless and protracted journey into the, evidently, mind numbingly dull world of cold war espionage.
