Title: Mediocre adaptation of Le Carre
Review: The Looking Glass War is a mediocre adaptation of John Le Carre's novel of the same name. The acting is stilted and awkward, the screenplay poor, and the whole thing feels contrived, which it is. Even Anthony Hopkins' performance is poor. Bought it, watched it, put it up on eBay.If you are looking for John Le Carre stories that have successfully made the jump from print to the silver screen, you want:The Spy Who Came In From The Cold - Richard Burton is stunning in his portrayal of a burned-out spy.Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy - The BBC series starring Alec Guiness. I made the mistake of starting this one evening around 9 PM planning to watch two chapters and go to bed. I finally got to bed at 2:30 AM, having watched the entire thing.Smiley's People - The BBC series sequel, as it were, to Tinker Tailor. Equally mesmerizing.All-in-all, I am of the opinion that only the British can successfully translate Le Carre to the silver screen. Hollywood just doesn't get it.
