Fans of the more cerebral aspects of the spy game will enjoy this patient and thoughtful depiction. There's pain and somberness on view and little in the way of tub thumping as The Circus sets about its squalid operations in a noble attempt to keep us safe. Tony Hopkins puts in a standout early performance as the fixer, while the spy in the front line does a good line in non-conformity while playing the game all the same. As so often with Le Caree so much seems to be going o under the surface, and that can sometimes be difficult to get down on screen. But that doesn't stop this being a top drawyer adaptation

To give you an idea of how bad

To give you an idea of how bad this movie is; I watched it until 12 minutes from the end and then stopped. Everything about this movie was appalling, in fact they need to come up with a better word to define awfulness. The acting was terrible (especially that of the lead who seems to have progressed to a well-earned obscurity) The production values sucked. The continuity was poor. The script was indescribable I cannot believe for a second that John LeCarre approved of this production of his novel. It may not be one of his best but it deserved so much better than this. I suspect that Ralph Richardson and Anthony Hopkins strongly wanted to disassociate themselves from this horrort.

Well-crafted and pretty faithful to the early Le Carre novel, which means that after fifty years it is still vastly superior to the usual shallow dreck which passes for espionage thrillers in Hollywood.
