Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (2011)

MORE4, 9.00PM ★★★★★

 This superb adaptation of John le Carré’s brilliant, intricate Cold War spy novel is a triumph. The espionage drama follows the hunt for a Soviet double agent at the top of the British secret service, with Gary Oldman spearheading the excellent ensemble cast which includes Colin Firth, Tom Hardy, John Hurt, and Benedict Cumberbatch. It’s funny, seductive and suspenseful.
