Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, was released on 16th September 2011 in the UK. 'Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy' is mainly directed at the European audience, as it was funded by a European company Studio Canal, based on a book written in the United Kingdom, by John le Carré and directed by an award winning European actor Tomas Alfredson. Tinker Tailor was hyped up to be one of Working Titles most amazing films, but so far has been a slight disappointment. Tinker Tailor is set in the early 1970s during the cold war, when the head of British Intelligence, Control finds out that someone he trusted was actually part of the Russian Embassy. Control then goes on a mission to find out who this person was. The funding 'Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy' was rejected by Universal Studios, and Working Title had to look elsewhere to fund their film. Working title had to look to France, for funding, joining up with Studio Canal. 'Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy' the film is based on a best-selling novel, by John le Carré. A lot of things seem appealing, such as the fact the film was on a best-selling novel, and it's many a-list actors, including the names, Gary Oldman, Benedict Cumberbatch and Colin Firth.
Joe this isn't a review. You needed to look at the fact that the trailer is selling the film as a classic thriller. The actors. Based on best selling book and also an award winning director. However definitely markets itself as an indpendent film to appeal to European not US audience.
