When I was young and foolish and devouring the sex and sadism laden adventures of James Bond, we were told that the di dah, nobility learned to read John Le Carre. Being perverse young children, decided to continue with Fleming and Sean Connery to thank Daniel Craig, Ursula Andress right through Olga Kurylenko, the super spy eye candy always enough for a sugar rush almighty.Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy - Tailor Made To Appeal."Tailor Soldier Spy Tinker," the first novel by Le Carre Karla Trilogy, was published in 1974. The novel tells the story of George Smiley, an intelligence officer in middle age (as distinct from the libidinous Bond as may be) pulled out of retirement to the smoke of a mole in the secret services.
The film based on the book, produced by Studio Canal and directed by Swedish filmmaker Tomas Alfredson, it also prevents guns, girls and gadgets formula Bond films. That does not mean that the film plods along the foot of lead. It moves at a rapid pace through exotic locales properly - there is Istanbul (where James Bond met Tatiana Romanova who came all the way from Russia with love), Budapest and London, where seventy red phone boxes were in use and not preserved as a quaint oddity with the names and numbers of the ladies of the shadow anatomically impossible that promises a good time. Violence is terrible because it is a matter of fact.
The cast of the film to another level with Gary Old man for a brilliant Smiley. There is also Colin Firth as Bill Haydon, William Hurt as the control, the head of the circus, British intelligence, and Benedict Cumberbatch stranger with a helmet of blond hair (which totally rocks as Holmes in the BBC series "Sherlock" ) and Peter Guillam. Casting, however, be a bit of a problem and reveals a crucial plot point for those who have not read the book.
The film does justice to the complicated plot of the book and thanks to Bridget O'Connor and Peter Straughan's script is competent, is not obscure or difficult to access. Soldier Spy Tinker as well as the book is a mature meditation what would happen if James Bond were to grow.
And yes, I'll squeeze "as Tinker ..." between reading 23 of "Goldfinger" and "Secret Service of His Majesty."
