Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy ★★★★
70s cold war thriller.
Doesn't explain much, so it's up to you to work out what Control, Karla, the Circus and the 70s were.
Atmospheric, smoky, slightly shabby and very brown, like a trip back in time to Ponders End.
Jim Gordon and Sherlock Holmes in a wig stare at each other a lot and track down a Russian mole in some sort of low rent gentlemans club.
Evokes the spirit of the time so well that you don't realise that not a lot actually happens.
