Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy


I was bored as shite through this one.

I really liked Night Manager, but I didn't think that it would be cleaning up awards shows or anything. Two great leads, a good supporting cast, and well shot. But it semi-often felt like super generic spy-thriller fare that you've seen a million times before. Good, not great.

Disagree on this. I consume pretty much any and all espionage books and movies available, and it didn't seem run of the mill to me. I agree it wasn't mind blowing, but generic wouldn't be how I'd describe it.

I'm enthusiastic about The Night Manager, but that is partially because you just don't get very much smart material in the genre anymore, and that's a shame because I think it often does well.

Should have a couple good forthcoming movies in the next couple years, however (Red Sparrow films and I am Pilgrim).
