Let the Right One In director Tomas Alfredson takes the helm for this adaptation of John Le Carré's novel about an ex-British agent who emerges from retirement to expose a mole in MI6. England, 1973: British Secret Intelligence Service (SIS) head Control (John Hurt) and his top-ranking lieutenant George Smiley (Gary Oldman) are both forced into retirement after a mission involving respected secret agent Jim Prideaux (Mark Strong) turns unexpectedly deadly. As the Cold War continues to escalate, suspicions of a Soviet double agent begin to grow within SIS. Subsequently summoned by Undersecretary Oliver Lacon (Simon McBurney), Smiley is secretly reemployed by the SIS in order to root out the double agent suspected of sharing top-secret British intelligence with the Soviets. Meanwhile, as Smiley and his new partner Peter Guillam (Benedict Cumberbatch) begin systematically examining all of the official missions and records involving MI6, the veteran spy can't help but recall an encounter he once had with Karla, a dangerous Russian operative, years prior. At first, uncovering the identity of the infiltrator seems nearly impossible. Smiley and Guillam get a big break, however, when undercover agent Ricki Tarr (Tom Hardy) reveals that he has fallen for a mysterious woman in Turkey named Irina (Svetlana Khodchenkova), who may have a crucial lead. Later, upon learning that Control had comprised a list of five possible suspects, code-named Tinker (Toby Jones), Tailor (Colin Firth), Soldier (Ciarán Hinds), Poor Man (David Dencik), and Beggar Man -- none other than Smiley himself -- the investigation begins to heat up again.

I saw this new movie, "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy" without having read John le Carre's novel on which it is based or without seeing the previous adaptations of the book. The details of the plot proved difficult to follow, and I was quickly confused. The manner of the presentation, with many flash-backs, did not make understanding any easier.
There are positive things about the film as well. The movie captures the atmosphere and the spirit of palpable tension in the Cold War era of the early 1970's through its portrayal of tough, yet bureaucratic espionage agents, out of the way hotels and homes, high glamor, and violence. The settings in London, Budapest, and Russia are shown effectively and realistically. Gary Oldman gives a strong performance of the intelligent, tight-lipped and perceptive George Smiley as the lead character.
The story involves a Soviet mole who is placed in the upper reaches of British intelligence. The movie opens well as a British agent is ordered to Hungary to receive the name of the mole from a high-placed official. The mole, however, leaks the plan to the Soviets and the agent meets his death. George Smiley, who had earlier been fired, is recalled to service to learn the identity of the mole. The film moves well, for its 130 minute duration, and individual scenes are good. But the story, and the manner in which Smiley uncovers the turncoat, eluded me.
My understanding is that the movie greatly compressed and changed le Carre's novel. Even though the movie is lengthy, essential elements of the story were cut. The movie probably will be best appreciated by viewers who have read and enjoyed le Carre's novel because they will have some prior understanding of the story and where it is going. A movie should stand on its own, however, and be intelligible to viewers who have not read the book on which it is based. Although there was a good deal to like in this film, it left me unconvinced and bewildered.

Will want to view it again soon.
This is the kind of movie that leaves you wondering what just happened. It was riveting, and I'm glad I own it because I will want to view it probably several times more.
