Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy – NOT a Thriller
Anyone else a feel little disappointed by this movie?
I’ve decided that you can’t call your movie a Thriller if A) no one runs in it, and B) the protagonist is never shown to be in any real danger.
An intense Espionage Drama? Sure. But a Thriller? That’s a bit of a stretch in my opinion. Damn you false advertising!
And what was the big fuss over Gary Oldman’s performance? Solid acting to be sure — but some of the reviews were making it sound like it was the role of his life.
Or maybe it was — what do you think? Was his performance understated, nuanced and bravura? Or was it just stoic, boring and unchallenging?
Did the trailer or the commercials have you feeling a little deceived when you finally saw the movie? Or was it just me? Let me know!
It’s so crazy, it just might work… as a movie!
