Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy Trailer 2011There are only men There are no super villains in hidden underground fortresses. This isn't the glamorized world of secret agents, but a daily grind. The agents aren't suave, svelte men in tuxedos with the phony fighting skills of a martial arts stunt coordinator; they work in offices and filing rooms, they have varying builds, they dress in average work clothing, and some of them look as if their years of service have prematurely aged them. There are no preposterous gadgets hidden in cufflinks or pens, no fancy sports cars with big engines, no scantily clad women.
Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy WallpaperAdapted from the novel by John le Carré, the film weaves a convoluted yet engrossing tale of intrigue without resorting to romanticized James Bond spy clichés. How nice that there are still mysteries that actively work towards actually surprising the audience. There's no telling where it will go, when things will happen, or how it will end up. And unlike a lot of stories of intrigue, which can be too clever and gimmicky for their own good, this one is genuinely unpredictable.
We want to get to the bottom of things just as badly as the characters do. This isn't to suggest that the film is a cold collection of facts and figures; in its narrative methodology, it's a deeply involving mystery, and at times, it's highly thrilling. There's an analytical process at work, a logical deconstruction of the situation at hand. Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy is an espionage film that isn't about action and special effects so much as systematic investigation.
