'Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy' movie review, trailer: No stirred martinis here

MOVIE REVIEW

"Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy" refuses to talk down to its audience. The 127-minute espionage thriller, ably directed by Tomas Alfredson, requires a great deal of commitment and dedication to follow all the complicated story lines and revelations. For those willing to let the movie win them over, the experience is intimate and effective, almost like we’ve been called to be another agent of the MI6, the British secret intelligence service.

Gary Oldman plays George Smiley, a veteran spy forced into retirement after a horrible debacle in Hungary that leaves one of the service’s closest associates dead. Both Smiley and his boss, Control (John Hurt), bow out gracefully, while the younger set, including Percy Alleline (Toby Jones), Toby Esterhase (David Dencik), Roy Bland (Ciarán Hinds) and Bill Haydon (Colin Firth), take over duties.
