When one thinks about spy thrillers, the obvious names that pop up are James Bond, Jason Bourne and Jack Ryan. These movies are typically filled with fast cars, fancy gadgets, and highly stylized action that always ends with the hero triumphing over evil. Tomas Alfredson's Tinker, Tailor, Solider, Spy, however, appears to be a completely different kind of film....

Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy Clip Makes Mark Strong Look Like One Of The Good Guys

I've never read Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy by John le Carre and I don't plan to before the Tomas Alfredson film comes out this December. I know the story revolves around a retired MI6 agent named George Smiley (Gary Oldman) who is brought back in order to find a Soviet mole in the organization. I have no idea who the traitor ends up being, but I am hoping one thing: that it's not Mark Strong....

UK Trailer For Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy Adds Useless Narration

UK Trailer For Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy Adds Useless Narration

I don't think it's too controversial to say that the trailers for Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy have been some of the best we've seen so far in 2011. The previews are atmospheric, mysterious, beautiful and, most importantly, informative about the plot. At no point during either of the previous two trailers did I think to myself, "Gee, I really need an annoying voice-over that will take me out of the film completely."...

For the last decade almost every British actor you can name has played a part in the Harry Potter franchise. From John Cleese to Kenneth Branagh to Rhys Ifans, J.K.
