It is the brilliant Spy thriller  Tinker Taylor Soldier Spy

**** Margaret ***** David, ATM ABC

Based on John Le-Carre’s  novel , Tomas Alfredson has brilliantly remade spy thriller set in the 1970’s at the height of the Cold War. George Smiley (Gary Oldman), a disgraced British spy, is rehired in secret by his government - which fears that the British Secret Intelligence Service, has been compromised by a double agent working for the Soviets.   Could it be Alleline (Toby Jones), Haydon (Colin Firth), Bland (Ciarán Hinds), Estherhase (David Dencik) – 5 Stars,

Phillip French & Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian

Oldman is superb as the ever-present Smiley (portrayed by Alec Guinness in the 1979 TV series), while Colin Firth shows great presence as the elegant, confident Bill Haydon, code-named Tailor. The fact that the physicality of

the actors is so different works in the film's favour with Toby Jones as good as ever as the smarmy Percy Alleline (Tinker) and Ciaran Hiands's large features are imposing as Roy Bland (Soldier). But they are not the only rotten apple contenders. For maximum enjoyment, do not expect a run-of-the-mill thriller with linear storytelling and a simple resolution. There is far more complexity to absorb.

Le Carré is a master of the genre and under Alfredson's dense direction, the revitalisation of this classic is elevated to new heights as well as a new audience. (Louis Keller cited in Rotten Tomatoes)
