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.

One of my favourite movies of all time. I actually read the book when I saw the trailer, and then watched the movie. And then read the other two books. John Le Carre is the spy master
