The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

Certainly a watchable adaptation of LeCarre's brilliant novel, but this version pales in comparison to the BBC production starring Sir Alec Guinness and an all star supporting cast. Too many changes simply for the sake of putting a personal thumbprint on this version . Why was Peter Guillam gay? Why Hungary and not Czechoslovakia as in the book? While the supporting cast in this version was also star studded, the script was second rate and Gary Olin single handedly carried this poorly crafted production. It's the comparison between the Original version that makes this movie much less than brilliant. Shame.

Siempre he pensado que este tipo de películas no cierran los guiones, es muy difícil cerrarlos y como dan tantas vueltas, hay cosas que se pasan y como quieren dejarte tensión, pues te quitan cosas, total que yo creo que no está cerrado.
Cuando ha llegado al final de la película, he pensado, este es el topo, pero por que alguno tenía que ser, por que las pruebas que me has dado y nada son las mismas.La película no es la típica de este tipo, eso está claro, luego está en que te guste o no. A mí la verdad es que me ha dejado frio por no decir helado. Es lejana y tempo lento. Muchos flashback que no sé qué cuentan. Se hace larga y no sé si todas las secuencias sirven para algo.Que está bien hecha, sí, pero no llega aun así al espectador. Los actores están. No son ninguna maravilla ninguno. Tampoco es que tengan que hacer nada en especial la verdad, con estar normal, en la mayoría de las secuencias vale.La fotografía, se puede decir que es fría por que la película es fría, pero es que no es que sea fría es que esta descolorida y eso si es como está la película. No dice mucho la verdad.La dirección, pues para mí no llega. Si no consigue atrapar al espectador, no consigue estar intrigante en todo momento. No sabe hacer nada más que primeros planos y generales. Creo que no la sabe llevar, ya que esta todo el rato a fuego lento, pero no llega a bullir.Creo que la olvidare en muy poco tiempo.I have always thought that this type of films do not close the scripts, it is very difficult to close them and as they give so many laps, there are things that happen and how they want to leave you tension, because they take away things, total that I think is not closed.
When you have reached the end of the movie, I thought, this is the mole, but why one had to be, because the tests you have given me and nothing are the same.The movie is not typical of this type, that is clear, then it is in that you like it or not. The truth is that it has left me cold not to say ice cream. It is far and slow tempo. Many flashbacks that I do not know what counts. It's long and I do not know if all the sequences are good for anything.It is well made, yes, but it does not reach the spectator.The actors are. They are not any wonder. It is not that they have to do anything especially the truth, with being normal, in most sequences it is worth it.Photography, you can say it is cold because the film is cold, but it is not that it is cold is that it is discolored and that is how the film is. It does not say much the truth.The address, because for me it does not arrive. If you can not catch the viewer, you can not be intriguing at all times. He does not know how to do anything other than close-ups and generals. I think he does not know how to carry it, since it is simmering all the time, but it does not get to boil.I think I'll forget it in a very short time.

What an incredible waste of so many fine actors! This movie is incomprehensible. Any person who says they understood it is lying. British drama is ordinarily quite good, but this is the worst example I've ever seen. It is an overlong repetition of silences, mostly from Oldman, that explain nothing. Perhaps we were supposed to read his eyes to understand what he was thinking. I only hung on to the end in hopes that the plot would become clear, but it never did. Of course, my IQ is only 140. Perhaps an IQ of 180 is needed to understand it. It reminded me of another mindless flic called "Inception" that I saw two days ago ... total gibberish and unintelligible, and at the end you have no idea whatsoever what happened. Stay away from this one too!

I love this movie. I have found that everyone in my household also loves this film. This includes people from the baby boomer generation, Gen X, and a teenager. The hazy, monochromatic tone and slow pace gradually draws you into another time and every time I watch it I discover new details, hints and clues that were previously missed. Yes, it is a little confusing the first time you watch it, but ride it out. Watch it again. I guarantee you'll grow an appreciation for it.
