Bridge Of Pies

Rating: 7/10 (22 October 2015)

Bridge Of Spies acts as if you are ordering food at a restaurant (much like that one scene with all the food in East Berlin). However, you've ordered a rare steak and what comes out is a medium steak. It's the same food, and you'll eat it, but it's not what you ordered. Bridge Of Spies just feels too cautious in it's approach. The trailers were extremely misleading (tho I don't judge the film on that) and nothing really happens. Instead of the suspense and highly intense story I was believing I was going to get, I got a courtroom drama with a cliché side story instead.
Bridge Of Spies is underwhelming, tho if you deal with it, the middle portion of the film is quite fast paced and well filmed. However, if you look at the two sides of the middle, you'll find a slow paced, uneventful, cliché riddled, classic Spielberg film and a classic Tom Hanks performance. Nothing all that new nor great, but at times enjoyable.
