Could have told the same story in a shorter amount of time

Rating: 5/10 (23 November 2018)

Bridge of Spies is a well-made film, but it feels like Spielberg could have told the same story in a shorter amount of time. Tom Hanks is his usual, likeable self and Mark Rylance plays a unique character, but I'm still not convinced he should have won Best Supporting Actor. I think I would have liked this movie more if I was more informed and more interested in Cold War politics.
