From the first time I saw the trailer for Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, I knew I wanted to see it as soon as it came to theaters. The cast looked amazing, and I have a soft spot for history related anything. So, naturally I enjoyed this movie quite a bit. It was definitely one of those films where not a whole lot seemed to make sense until the very end when everything was unfolded and the truth came out. Gary Oldman as George Smiley was superb, in fact everyone of the amazing actors in this film were excellent. To sum up the entire story line into just a few short words does not do the film justice, but I don't want to give too much away. Basically, George Smiley is one part of a team of veteran espionage agents, but is forced into retirement. However, it is brought to his superior's attention that there could possible be a mole within his old group. The entire movies revolves around Smiley trying to figure out who the mole is and how each person is involved. Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy takes place during the Cold War so tension is high, and that shows through the actions taken by each party involved. The stellar cast in this film includes Colin Firth, Mark Strong, John Hurt, and the always swoon-worthy Tom Hardy, just to name a few. While this film may not be for everyone, it's definitely one where it could be watched multiple times and new things would be revealed each time.
