Subtle, excellent, story telling artistry

Rating: 9/10 (9 November 2015)

They really pull back the curtain and reveal just how all of the suspicion of the "other" side got so out of control during the cold war. The subtle way in which the story unfolds is so real. It is as close to real life as you will experience. Amazing, historical events are often simply a matter of logic, determination and courage. Remove all of the usual over the top drama and what you get is a front line look at exactly how "matter of fact" world changing events can be. The axis on which our global systems of politics and economies spin is often as simple as a couple of conversations and a handshake. This film tells it like it is. The tension is there without the overt treat of harm. If you have ever been a part of "big" decisions that impact the lives of others, then you will connect with the main character. I was right there with him all the way. This is great art. It makes you feel. If you are looking for sex, martial arts and car chases please leave the seats open for the rest of us.
