Entertainment Reviews:
There are many good reasons why movies cannot run on for six hours, so when cinematic necessity compels squeezing a fine six-hour show like Tinker, Tailor into one third the time, audience and story are likely to be shortchanged, as happens here.

The New York Review of Books
From top to toe this is one of the best crafted, best acted, most tautly presented thrillers I've seen in a really long time.

The Dispatch (Lexington, NC)
The movie is riveting in the exact sense of the word: We feel nailed to the screen in the impossible task of working out what is going on-let alone why it matters.

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy is a wonderfully stylised piece that accepts the importance of visual aesthetics without losing any substance in terms of plot or narrative action.

Product Description:
Based on a novel by spy writer John Le Carre, TINKER, TAILOR, SOLDIER, SPY remains one of the most acclaimed British mini-series of all time. Alec Guinness turns in a superlative performance as George Smiley, a former spy who was forcibly retired after an internal scandal in the British Secret Intelligence Service. When it's discovered that a Russian spy has infiltrated the organization's highest levels, Smiley is brought back into service to covertly spy on his former colleagues and root out the double agent. This gripping tale of Cold War espionage was followed by the sequel SMILEY'S PEOPLE.
