Cold War Drama Plus

Rating: 9/10 (19 December 2019)

This is similar to Funeral in Berlin and The Spy Who Came in From The Cold and is just as good if not better. Gregory Peck tried to make this in the 60's when it was more relevant, it probably would have been great, but it has been made now and it is great, but probably different than if made in the 60's, it is like a 60's film but with a post millenium style.
Tom Hanks is on great form, and Mark Rylance is excellent as the Russian Spy, the supporting cast is good, but it is the cold war Berlin photography that is great.
When first viewing this I did not realise that Spielberg was the Director, I know now, but it did not matter I already thought it great without knowing that.
With this and Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (2011), it prove this format is not dead, great stuff.
