Went to see this over the weekend. A few observations:

1) At 30 years old I was probably 15-20 years younger than the average person in the theatre.

2) One of the few movies in recent memory that didn't have people carry on conversations during the movie - this made me very happy.

3) Ralph Fiennes is pretty damn good. In fact, I can't recall the last bad performance of his.

4) It made me interested in reading the book. I haven't read much by John Le Carre. Anyone around here a fan?

5) Overall the movie was entertaining, but a bit political/one sided for my tastes.

6) I'd give the movie 3.5 out of 5.

7) Rachel Weisz can be incredibly hot. She wasn't in this movie.

Ralph Fiennes is a really, really, really fine actor. Its a shame he hasn't gotten more work...although I believe that is of his choosing. (See Day-Lewis, Daniel)
