It is an impressing cast: Gary Oldman, Colin Firth, Tom Hardy, John Hurt, Toby Jones, Mark Strong, Benedict Cumberbatch and Ciarán Hinds and the Swedish-Danish actor David Dencik.
Where are the women? Well there are some but one can't say they play an important role, unfortunately. Kathy Burke, Svetlana Khodchenkova, Linda Marlowe and Laura Carmichael are the most predominant women in the film.
A very macho like film in this sense.
As a film quite entertaining, not taking itself too seriously. A combination between different 1960-70 agent and spy-stories; James Bond and more amusing detective franchises.
The basis is the book by John Le Carré and the action is taking place during the Cold War so the background is of course a rather severe and serious one.
On the whole a film worth seeing with some original ingredients but mostly entertaining, not trying to take a serious standpoint on the Cold War.
