A Brief Overview of "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy."

Although the woman at the rental store hinted that it wasn't an "action" spy film, I had no idea just how sedate the beginning of "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy" would be.

The first half hour of the film could easily be renamed; "White Men Calmly Going About Their Daily Business."

The pace picked up slightly when one nondescript white guy broke into a trot up a flight of stairs.

Sometime later, a group of white men moved a small end table from one corner of a room to the other.

Intense!

No really, I get it- it's not that kind of a spy film.

But somehow the plot hooked me and I enjoyed watching Gary Oldman do his thing.

Also, Colin Firth was there, grinning and looking sly. Countless romantics will remember his turn as Mr. Darcy- a Mr. Darcy not opposed to swimming through his own ancestral duck pond and emerging from it with his white shirt clinging enchantingly about his pecks.

Desh it awl! I feel a swim is in or-dah!

As you can clearly see the man has talent. Even his wet hair is acting the daylights out of that scene. The face seems to say: Oh, hey Eliza. Why yes, I am a damp, steaming mass of desirable man cake!

So, in conclusion, "Tinker, Tailor, Darcy, Shirt" was a good film and you should see it or something.
