Review of Bridge of Spies (2015) by Mrmoviebuff — 27 Nov 2015
'Bridge of Spies' is a cold war spy thriller directed by Steven Spielberg and written by Matt Charman and the Coen Brothers. It stars Tom Hanks as James Donovan who has to negotiate with a number of officials to release their respective pilots and citizens.
This is a masterfully crafted thriller that is filled with superb acting and some surprisingly funny moments.
Mark Rylance plays Rudolf Abel who is committed of being a spy and James has to defend him during the trials. Little do we know that an American pilot named Francis Gary Powers (Austin Stowell) has been taken away by the Russians and it's up to James to negotiate an exchange to bring the two committed men back home.
What really surprised me about this movie was the subtle comedy, this is a powerful movie that further proves why Steven Spielberg is one of the best working directors today. I loved his previous movie 'Lincoln' (2012) and I cannot wait to see what he will do next, this is one of the best movies of the year.
