Ah, here's another one. Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. There are no petrol vapor explosions, no jumping from helicopters without parachutes. 3.6x10^18 rounds of ammunition are not fired. There are no laser beams, missile firing cars or even one single RPG-7. It is actually plausible given the time in which it is set. This movie is slow, one needs a flow chart to keep track of the plot. In other words it is the complete antithesis of a Hollywood spy movie. It is a film about relationships; you spend a lot of time watching people talking to one another. I thought it a good adaptation of the book although if they had made a direct copy of the book it would have gone for about 20 hours. I do hope they bring out the two sequels.
