Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy

Another not in my usual genre, but Tinker Tailor is an excellent film that I enjoyed, would see again and recommend to you. In fact, I need to see it again just to figure it out. I got most of it but there were a few threads that I didn't follow - which my wife and the couple we were with tried to clarify amongst ourselves later.

The casting is excellent, as are the performances by Gary Oldman (who is in a gazillion Harry Potter films, two Batmans and Air Force One), Colin Firth (of which Love Actually is my favourite of his many), John Hurt (whom I think of as Ollivander in HP) and, Benedict Cumberbatch (who was good in Amazing Grace, which is another film I recommend).

The only thing I didn't like very much was feeling tense throughout the film. Nevertheless, it is worth seeing.
