Review of Bridge of Spies (2015) by Fungusgnat — 06 Mar 2016

This is the kind of thing at which Spielberg excels, and the story, with its parallels and ironies intact, maybe even pumped a bit (Abel seems a more honorable man than Powers), is well told. But Spielberg seems a bit bored by his material, as if he were hankering to do something a little less Meaningful.

Nonetheless, I’ve no major complaints about "Bridge," an engrossing period piece with fine acting by Hanks and his supporting cast and ghostly blue-&-white cinematography by long-time Spielberg collaborator Kaminski.
