Sorry, this movie sucks

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Very confusing and extremely boring. The editing feels terrible and disjointed. Story is vague and you cannot connect to any character. No suspense, thrill, mystery or even proper drama. Acting is good by lead characters but the script and screenplay really ruins it all. The whole movie feels too stretched out and there are just too many "odd" names to follow. You easily lose track of all names and story many times throughout the film. The score is also very dull and evokes no emotion at anytime in the entire film. Too much switching into past and present which further adds up to confusion. I am giving a 2 only because of some very talented actors on board, otherwise this is probably a 1/10 movie. You can easily skip your sleeping pills for a night and use this film instead. Easily passable. Not recommended to even the most hardcore movie fanatics. Do not fall for the cast or false ratings and reviews and think of giving it a "try". I did the same (even though the name itself is so lame and sounds like a kid's movie at the first place) and was highly disappointed.

This film is extremely disappointing. Its set in cold war London which gives the film a feeling of complete doom and gloom for its entire duration, except for the upbeat song at the end which really has no place in this film. The characters arent very well or introduced and most of the film feels as if the director never really expected to land so many big names and now has nothing to give them to do. John Hurt does steal every scene tough. Its poorly directed and the plot is very difficult to keep track of. The opening credits last over five minutes but are just pointless shots of Gary Oldman walking through his London neighbourhood. His monologues during the film are too long and overly theatrical. They would be more suited in a Shakespearean production. The cinematographer and set decoraters do a good job in creating a gloomy feeling through their use of greys and browns. However, this alone cannot carry a film as boring as this one. Its a waste of time.

Siempre he pensado que este tipo de películas no cierran los guiones, es muy difícil cerrarlos y como dan tantas vueltas, hay cosas que se pasan y como quieren dejarte tensión, pues te quitan cosas, total que yo creo que no está cerrado. Cuando ha llegado al final de la película, he pensado, este es el topo, pero por que alguno tenía que ser, por que las pruebas que me has dado y nada son las mismas.La película no es la típica de este tipo, eso está claro, luego está en que te guste o no. A mí la verdad es que me ha dejado frio por no decir helado. Es lejana y tempo lento. Muchos flashback que no sé qué cuentan. Se hace larga y no sé si todas las secuencias sirven para algo.Que está bien hecha, sí, pero no llega aun así al espectador. Los actores están. No son ninguna maravilla ninguno. Tampoco es que tengan que hacer nada en especial la verdad, con estar normal, en la mayoría de las secuencias vale.La fotografía, se puede decir que es fría por que la película es fría, pero es que no es que sea fría es que esta descolorida y eso si es como está la película. No dice mucho la verdad.La dirección, pues para mí no llega. Si no consigue atrapar al espectador, no consigue estar intrigante en todo momento. No sabe hacer nada más que primeros planos y generales. Creo que no la sabe llevar, ya que esta todo el rato a fuego lento, pero no llega a bullir.Creo que la olvidare en muy poco tiempo.I have always thought that this type of films do not close the scripts, it is very difficult to close them and as they give so many laps, there are things that happen and how they want to leave you tension, because they take away things, total that I think is not closed. When you have reached the end of the movie, I thought, this is the mole, but why one had to be, because the tests you have given me and nothing are the same.The movie is not typical of this type, that is clear, then it is in that you like it or not. The truth is that it has left me cold not to say ice cream. It is far and slow tempo. Many flashbacks that I do not know what counts. It's long and I do not know if all the sequences are good for anything.It is well made, yes, but it does not reach the spectator.The actors are. They are not any wonder. It is not that they have to do anything especially the truth, with being normal, in most sequences it is worth it.Photography, you can say it is cold because the film is cold, but it is not that it is cold is that it is discolored and that is how the film is. It does not say much the truth.The address, because for me it does not arrive. If you can not catch the viewer, you can not be intriguing at all times. He does not know how to do anything other than close-ups and generals. I think he does not know how to carry it, since it is simmering all the time, but it does not get to boil.I think I'll forget it in a very short time.

Not as good as the original, but then most are not. I did enjoy it thoroughly and do recommend watching.
