It's a Swedish made spy/political thriller and very watchable. It has very similar style to recent Scandinavian films and TV series - and that's not a bad thing. If there was a rating for spy films where Tinker, Tailor was at one end, and Moonraker at the other, it would be maybe 20-30% along the scale from the former.
No huge explosions or gags, just a decent story and a spy/soldier offing the bad guys. There's a pretty shocking moment about a third of the way in that gives a bit of depth and tragedy to Persbrandt's character. I'm looking forward to watching the two sequels.
