Review of Bridge of Spies (2015) by Whitewind — 23 Oct 2015
Very engrossing film directed by Steven Spielberg; it is to be hoped that he will be directing more fine films in the future, as opposed to only producing them (hardly an artistic endeavor). The film holds one's attention throughout (there was no inclination to peek at a watch to see when it will be over).
Tom Hanks gives his usual workmanlike performance as James Donovan, the lawyer who becomes Rudolf Abel's lawyer, then is at the center of the negotiations to trade Abel for an American pilot. I thought Mark Rylance was outstanding as Abel.
Definitely one of the better movies of 2015, thus far.
