Review of Bridge of Spies (2015) by Danipp — 23 Oct 2015

Brilliant adaptation directed by Steven Spielberg. Bridge Of Spies is a cold and intense movie that brings us close to the Cold War and how an American lawyer tried to help two hostages by trading him with a soviet spy.

But much more than that, the script shows us how close Hanks and Rylance's characters get closer and respect each other's jobs and how much such likely USA and Russia can be regarding spies, even though they are near to start a dangerous war in the world because of their differences.

We don't have a lot of depth on Donovan's personal life but the focus on his relationship with Abel is deep and moving, especially in the end. Fortunately, we don't have an over patriotic analysis on the fact, which makes the film easier to relate to and not annoying like previous films about American heroes.
