Saw a preview of this movie in London tonight. If you're a fan of the original novel, BBC series or spy stories in general then you'll love this. Gary Oldman is excellent. Absorbing stuff even if you know the ending. The music over the opening credits is superb, gorgeous, lonely, moody jazz. Sadly the rest of the score is IMO less attractive conventional orchestral scoring.It's OK in the film but the approach used over the opening titles had more mileage IMO and could have created a very strong score. Couldn't help thinking, what would John Barry have done with this film?. I'll probably pass on the cd but buy the first track as a download at itunes or amazon Film opens in US on 9th December.

SKIN I LIVE IN and this score are both good stuff. Probably the Iglesias score I like most from this year's patch is TAMBIEN LA LUVIAS though. DANCER UPSTAIRS remains his peerless peak, however.

I´m late to the party - but, boy, is this score great! Excellently evoking an atmosphere of slowly building tension, dread, melancholy, hope. Beautifully melodic, orchestrated with restraint. This is how I would imagine Ian Fleming´s novels could "sound" like...

I'm a bit late, as well. I bought this score over the summer. Absolutely love it. Smiley's theme/the main titles music is superb. It completely captures the essence of the spy genre. I love the low-key nature of the score. Great film, too. One of the best I've seen in a very long time.
