Good movie but grossly overrated

Don't Believe the Hype

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Very confusing and extremely boring. The editing feels terrible and disjointed. Story is vague and you cannot connect to any character. No suspense, thrill, mystery or even proper drama. Acting is good by lead characters but the script and screenplay really ruins it all. The whole movie feels too stretched out and there are just too many "odd" names to follow. You easily lose track of all names and story many times throughout the film. The score is also very dull and evokes no emotion at anytime in the entire film. Too much switching into past and present which further adds up to confusion. I am giving a 2 only because of some very talented actors on board, otherwise this is probably a 1/10 movie. You can easily skip your sleeping pills for a night and use this film instead. Easily passable. Not recommended to even the most hardcore movie fanatics. Do not fall for the cast or false ratings and reviews and think of giving it a "try". I did the same (even though the name itself is so lame and sounds like a kid's movie at the first place) and was highly disappointed.

During the first hour, the producers actually managed to give four whole women non-speaking roles - Two blonde, giggling secretaries, one woman who had their head smashed against a window, and one brunette whose naked behind we saw in a sex-scene. Very disappointing.

I watched this because I love Gary Oldman. But I spent the entire movie wondering and rewinding and trying to figure out if maybe I should have read the book book first? Because I just could not keep up with what was current and what was past and who was who. And then the end credits came up. Wait...What?

I watched a great acting. It's impossible to create an emotional bond with movie characters. The director has done a very successful job on this issue. The best cold war movie I've ever watched.
