I have all the respect in the world for Gary Oldman (and he has such a quiet, powerful presence here), but this Cold War spy movie was mind-numbingly boring. In fact, I've felt the same about most John le Carré-based movies (Russia House, The Tailor of Panama), and even with its captivating ending, reading through his "The Spy Who Came in from the Cold" was quite a challenge. Maybe le Carré's books are just not "filmable".
PS: OK, The Constant Gardener was an exception.
