Review of Bridge of Spies (2015) by Carlo C — 23 Mar 2017
Bridge of Spies (BoS) is a very good movie directed by Steven Spielberg and starring Tom Hanks...although it is not a movie for everyone. I enjoyed their pairing of work more in Saving Private Ryan. Having said that, BoS has an interesting story based on a real event circa the Cold War 1957-60, about a lawyer and his involvement with 2 spies on opposite sides of both US and Soviet Union, and the politics and mindsets of both nations.
Main themes are of honour of men and humanity, regardless of what nationality/ideology you hail from. A fine script and uplifting dialogues; but with no action at all save for a shooting scene. Recommended for historical aficionados and those who like A Few Good Men.
A personal A-.
