[MOVIE REVIEW] Bridge of Spies

I will be reviewing some bad movies too, just trying to get to the good ones first.

Bridge of Spies is a good movie worthy of your time, written by the Cohen brothers and Matt Charman, directed by Stephen Spielberg. It is a bit too much of a feel good for my taste, but it is way better than the usual feel good stuff out there. There is no stand out performance, Tom Hanks plays his role very well, no other performances are worthy of mention. The movies is partly about constitutional principles, mob justice and how we can and should avoid it, but it is also about how spies and criminals are ultimatley people and finally its about the tensions that surrounded the cold war. The movie is based on a true story, which makes it more watchable to my mind, but it also limits the control of the film makers have over the final product. The sceneography and music is nothing special, no particular mood is maintained, and it is in this sense a very American film.

7/10, worthy of your time.

Next movie I intend to watch is "Wings over Berlin", allegedly really nice movie. I have seen the horrible movie "ant-man" and will be reviewing it shortly.
