Review of Bridge of Spies (2015) by Netflic — 18 Oct 2015
When Steven Spielberg makes a movie, one can expect something extra-ordinary.
When Coen brothers write a script for it, what can go wrong? And when critics give this movie good reviews, one’s expectations go high.
Unfortunately too often for me, when expectations are high, I end up disappointed.
The movie is solid, the story of Cold War prisoner exchange between Soviet Union and United States is amazing. (Some people might remember when American pilot Powers was exchanged for a Russian spy Abel). Tom Hanks once again proved that he is one of the best actors. But can I call this movie great? Or even very good? Hardly. Too many cliches, characters are flat and simplistic. People are either good or bad, and we know better that it is much more complex and subtle than that. Especially in politics. Overall, I did like the movie but my score is 6 out of 10.
