Review of Bridge of Spies (2015) by Lordfilm — 21 Oct 2015
Lets first off state that these are master filmmakers who have time and time again entertained and dazzled the film community and common movie goers.
The Hanks and Spielberg collaboration is astonishing to see on screen and there are some hidden names working behind this one here (THE COEN BROTHERS).
Its a beautifully executed film that is historically accurate and portrays the Spy incident of 1957 during the rise of the Cold Warvery well.
Tom Hanks shines as a whole-hearted lawyer who is given the difficult task of defending a Russian spy caught on US land.
Same goes for our U2 bomber spies overseas.
The premise is a trade of our spies for the Russian spy they decided not to execute.
Fluid framework and accurate props to make you feel like you are in the 1950s make this movie stand out well.
If you enjoyed Schindlers List, this is right up your alley and will have you intensely rooting for Tom Hanks the whole time.
Great film but in my opinion, not worth a 2 hour sitting.
Alot of the cuts were drawn out to what I call a "Buffy Cut".
Overall, great history and great actors with solid direction and solid screenwriting.
Probably and most likely an Oscar Contender.
