Maybe this is the real espionage war, there are no exaggerated fights, passionate chases, cool explosions, but a group of extraordinary ordinary people struggling to find the so-called truth in the intricate intelligence network. To be honest, the rhythm of the first half is slow, and the second half is not much faster. It's a bit boring to watch, and because of my IQ, the ending is a little bit incomprehensible, but the strong cast and excellent performance tension can be regarded as a result. A film worth watching. (To be honest, I didn't recognize Tom hardy at first)

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy quotes

  • [Alleline's telex arrives from London]

    Ricki Tarr: Read it aloud.

    Ben: "Personal for Tarr from Alleline: require clarification before meeting your request. Quote, 'information vital to safeguarding of the Circus', unquote, does not qualify, send further information."

    Ricki Tarr: [laughing maniacally] That's the way, Percy boy! You keep stalling. I warn you, Ben, we've got some really lousy people in this outfit, I wouldn't trust a fucking one of them!

  • Percy Alleline: The Minister agrees with me that too many secrets are blowin' around here. Too much failure, too many scandals, too little solid intelligence.

    Roy Bland: Percy does have a point, Control. We should be fighting communism, not each other.

    Percy Alleline: Well, we're losing our reputation. Our partners.

    Control: [scoffs] Your bloody Yanks!

    Percy Alleline: And we've had enough! There's going to be changes.

    Easterhase: We need to decide if we want to be part of the past or part of the future.

    Control: I should have left you where I found you.

    Easterhase: Look!

    Roy Bland: Control-...

    Control: Out! All of you!
