'Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy' Exclusive Clips: Spying Is Sexy Again!

[NelsonG]

You know what movie profession is in need of serious comeback? The spy. Not the "all flash and explosions of James Bond" spy, but the "shadowy guy on the street corner" spy. It's been too long since we've celebrated the clandestine charm of old-fashioned intelligence agents. It's time we bring them back.

Thankfully, we're in luck. "[url="http://www.mtv.com/movies/movie/479606/moviemain.jhtml"]Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy[/url]" is just the movie to do it. The film, which touts an all-British cast of ridiculously high caliber led by [url="http://www.mtv.com/movies/person/47550/personmain.jhtml"]Gary Oldman[/url], doesn't hit theaters until December 9, but we have three exclusive clips from the movie.

In the film, Oldman plays George Smiley, the iconic hero of the John le Carré novel the film is based on. Smiley has been tasked with the dangerous mission of sniffing out a mole in British intelligence.

Oldman's cast mates make up a who's who of British acting royalty including [url="http://www.mtv.com/movies/person/20798/personmain.jhtml"]Colin Firth[/url], [url="http://www.mtv.com/movies/person/266637/personmain.jhtml"]Tom Hardy[/url], [url="http://www.mtv.com/movies/person/233164/personmain.jhtml"]Toby Jones[/url], [url="http://www.mtv.com/movies/person/328608/personmain.jhtml"]Benedict Cumberbatch[/url] and [url="http://www.mtv.com/movies/person/28664/personmain.jhtml"]Ciarán Hinds[/url].
