A fantastic effort by Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks.

Rating: 10/10 (1 November 2015)

Bridge of Spies chronicles the mission of New York lawyer James B Donavan (Tom Hanks) to first, defend Rudolf Abel (Mark Rylance) a Russian spy, and then to negotiate a prisoner exchange with the Russians for Lieutenant Francis Gary Powers (Austin Stowell) and Frederic Pryor (Will Rogers) in exchange for Abel. The movie is a brilliant portrayal of the story and it really kept me interested the whole time. The movie was amazing. Hanks's performance was excellent, and Steven Spielberg did a wonderful job with the film as well. Rylance is also good as Abel. The scenes with Donavan and Abel talking are some of the best bits of the film. By far this is the best film from 2015 I've seen (yet).
