Ratings and reviews

Thought it would be interesting, but turned out to just be twisted characters being cruel in a very slow moving film. Others spoke of needing to pay attention, but TBH it's just because there's not terrifically good writing. Tedious and eventually predictable, worth skipping.

Great Spy movie, hasn't been updated and a good thing too. Some of the best actors on the planet are in this. Gary Oldman makes you forget, Sir Alec Guiness. BRILLIANT.

Slow burning and brilliant. What a dream cast - Oldman, Firth and Hardy always first rate.
