Misery Fest: Movies that leave you depressed (24 movies items)

"This movie stars Richard Burton, who excellently plays civil servant Alec Leamas. He is fed up with the cold war, and is beginning to lose himself in the world of lies and espionage. A great story, but this is definitely not the 'feel good movie of the summer.' The entire cast is well played and the story well told. A great movie for lovers of John Le Carre stories.

John le Carré: Screen Adaptations (12 movies items)

"I sought out this movie after my initiation in Le Carre's work. It represents the basic (and best) qualities of his stories - tense and realistic espionage thrillers that do not glorify the people working in the field. If you're looking for James Bond and his action antics and gunfights, you're not going to find it here."

Movie Diary: 2012 (68 movies items)

"Jan 20 @ Download (First Viewing) The second movie based on a John Le Carre book that I've watched this month. He certainly knows how to write totally believable and gripping spy thrillers and this is no exception. Murder, espionage, hidden agendas and double crosses, but no action sequences, thankfully."

"8.11.2009, DVD Kylmän sodan aikaista maailmaa filmaillaan varsin aidontuntuisesti ja sitä tavallaan tukee toi vahva, varjoilla leikkivä mustavalkokuvaus silleen siististi. Agenttitrillerimeininki on kohdillaan ja dialogi paikoin erittäin näpsäkkää, etenkin osa Burtonin (josta oon muuten alkanut diggailla näyttelijänä aika paljonkin) suusta kuulluista reploista. Komeita maisemia löytyy ja lopetus onnistuu olemaan oikein hieno. Jos vaikka inspautuis lukemaan noita le Carrén kirjojak"
