Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy - Review
There are some films that are made to become classic movies and other ones that are just "typical" (same story, same actors, same camera work, same special effects). This film made from a novel wisely called "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy" is one of those that will become a classic and an Academy Awards nominee for sure.
Not only for the story, which is quite entertaining but predictable, the characters and cinematic is very well done. But in my opinion, the best about this film is the actors, their acting is very well made, they may be not quite famous as others, but they are by far better than many others starting with the protagonist Gary Oldman, and actor that can do anything: he always looks different in all his movies, he can do from comedy to action passing to horror, any film he appears is a good reason to watch it and I wouldn't be surprised if he's nominated as best actor next year, he's the greatest thing of the film and one of the most underrated actor, it's quite a shame...
The other actors are excellent as well but I have to mention Benedict Cumberbatch, he's the second best from this film, it remembers to other of his works, but at best. He's starting to be knowing thanks to his perfect portrayal of Sherlock Holmes in the Tv Show "SHERLOCK" and he will be even more known with his upcoming perfomance in "The Hobbit", he's that kind of young actor that doesn't act like his age, I really want to see more stuff from him...
This film is like a good spy-story without the action sequences, it remembers me how the old movies were and they only cared about a good story and good perfomances and not like now which only want to see 3D scenes, explosions and shooting.
The Best: The protagonist, Gary Oldman, and the other actors are amazing, that's enough reason to watch it!
The Worst: The story is very well written, this is not a bad thing, but it's too predictable...
RATING: 8/10!!
