Have you seen the classic miniseries with Alec Guinness as George Smiley? Just wondering how you would compare the two. I wanted to see this new version, but I was wondering how a film would measure up to a 6 episode miniseries with lots of time to develop the characters and their lives. As you mentioned in your review, it's a slow story, and it doesn't have any big explosions or special effects pieces that would necessarily make a Hollywood budget necessary.
I love your reviews by the way. I always stop by here when I'm thinking of seeing a movie.
