Hmmm...kind of a strange tangent here, but other than the head of MI6 just knowing about the mole, they really don't get into how he found out. Huh? Oh wait, I think they found out about the mole as a result of a spy being killed earlier, and as a result the head of MI6 and his second in command were sacked. At least I think his second in command, George Smiley (Gary Oldman) was sacked. Well, they actually didn't really say George Smiley was sacked, the head of MI6 simply said that "Smiley is coming with me." Which to me means that he was either sacked, or there was some strange homoerotic thing going on that they didn't delve too much further into during the movie...Not that there's anything wrong with that. Ok, never mind, I remembered how they knew about the mole now.
So anyway, before dying, the head of MI6 tells his fears of the mole to the only one he trusts, George Smiley, that there is a mole in MI6. Oh wait...actually, he died before actually telling him that there was a mole, and it was George that found out about his suspicions afterwards while ransacking the apartment of the dead guy.
Ok, you know what? In this review, I'm only about 20 minutes into the movie and I'm already confused about the plot. Look, it is a really good movie, and although there aren't gratuitous explosions or car chases, there are a couple guns that were fired, and a really cool head shot at the end. Spoiler alert!
Oh and Colin Firth is in it!
4/5
