Definitely the best film version of the books. More artful than Tinker Tailor and much more intense. The characters are more developed, especially Smiley's. The end of the movie had me on the edge of my seat, the suspense was incredible. If you enjoy spy films, this is absolutely essential viewing.
If only they made films this great all the time! (now available on DVD)

Visually, this film was beautiful. You can tell that Ridley Scott was involved. I think the first 3/4 of the film was quite convincing, however, the last segment was weak. It's intensely frustrating that they excluded vital material from Harris' novel, the ending in particular.
As usual, Hopkins was fantastic
