Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy


Eyewear advertisements have always had a very unique graphic style supported by perfect lighting. They are especially effective when the face on it belongs to a celebrity.
Too bad this poster is not related to an eyewear brand and it actually looks very similar to the poster for the TV film You don't know Jack.


In this case Gary Oldman is an evil spy whose credibility is greatly improved by using the "Matrix" effect on his face, not to be confused with Al Pacino.   
The line "The enemy is within" is very well located under his eye: how to not agree with that, we all know that dealing with under eyes dark circles is debilitating, especially when it lies within. Awesome for anti aging poster; not very well positioned for a spy movie.

The title font is simple but efficient and is probably the only graphic that makes me think it this is actually a movie about espionage.

Anyway, though apparently this movie is supposed to be good, this poster makes me realize my eyewear is not  trendy enough. Time to go to an optician!
