Customer Reviews

Gives the 1979 miniseries a run for its money.

During the Cold War, it looks like there is a mole in MI-6. Control (John Hurt) and George Smiley (Gary Oldman) retire after a botched mission. Just because Smiley retired does not mean it is not him. Yet he gets the task of coming back unofficially to find the mole. We go through a multifaceted search. And of course, it is supposed to be the last person you suspect. I do not remember that much detail of the series. But I enjoyed watching it. I assumed this version would have to cut a lot out and might leave you guessing at how they got from one scene to the next. I was wrong. Every word and look had meaning. There are a tad too many flashbacks, but time constraints probably force that. For a minute I thought of “Murder on the Orient Express,” where there were too many clues. I must confess I have not read the book, so I cannot dissect the differences.
