Review of Bridge of Spies (2015) by Hrant B — 01 Jun 2018
Bridge of Spies is based on a true story about an insurance lawyer, played by Tom Hanks, who was informed he would represent a Soviet spy during the Cold War. The knowledge and wisdom of James Donovan not only saved the US pilot but also a student.
Over the course of his life he helped release over 9,000 prisoners and brought them home. With a great cast and a good script you can expect a great movie, but it was filled with plenty of mistakes. I was surprised to see that the Russian Diplomat offered Hanks an Armenian Cognac, but it was a twist off cap.
In the 1950's twist off caps didn't exist...all types of liquors used wine bottle openers to open it. Overall it was a good movie but a yawner.
