Great historical drama

Rating: 8/10 (14 December 2016)

'Bridge of Spies' is a very well made, informative and entertaining spy movie inspired by true events during the Cold War. Arguably the most impressive part of this film is the brilliant cinematography and design, with some great attention to detail. The film is beautifully shot and a delight to watch.
Mark Rylance is brilliant as soviet spy Rudolf Abel, a compelling and mysterious man. Rylance got his character spot on, and of course I have to mention the ever-reliable Tom Hanks, who is near perfect as attorney James Donovan. As he always seems to be.
The ending of the movie, which eventually arrives after 2 or 3 fake endings, was nicely done and topped off what was a great historical drama.
