'Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy' plays close to the vest – 4 stars
![Actors so rarely get paid to sit still. This week at the movies, as Tom Cruise is on Imax screens playing a frantic, hamsterlike intelligence gatherer in the new "Mission: Impossible" movie, we have also a superb adaptation of the John le Carre spy novel "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy." Its central character, George Smiley of the British Secret Intelligence Service, does not smile much, or give anything away. He sits. And watches. And waits for his adversaries, one of whom is a double agent working for the Soviets as well as the British, to make a fatal mistake.](http://www.chicagotribune.com/media/thumbnails/column/2011-12/66766333-14134632.jpg "Actors so rarely get paid to sit still.
