Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (2011): a very short review

Posted on 10:57 AM by Unknown

We watched the 2011 film adaptation of LeCarre's Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy.

So brilliantly acted! So beautifully filmed! So carefully adapted!

So incredibly dull.

Sigh.

Happily, with Netflix, you send that one back and try another. Perhaps another day it will appeal more. Perhaps one day I will care enough to read the book first.

Or perhaps not.
