Rating: 10/10 (30 June 2016)

Wow who would have thought after the absolutely outstanding Lincoln Steven Spielberg would deliver yet another outstanding film with Bridge of Spies I can't quite believe it to be honest and he is nearly 70 years old and he still knows how to make an outstanding piece of cinema just incredibly entertaining moving thrilling and quite honestly it's also touching and heartfelt at the same time, I have just viewed the film for the first time tonight with exceedingly high expectations because of the outstanding output from Steven Spielberg in the past and with this film he really delivers on the excitement the thrills the tension the gentle drama of the film is quite easy to see too it's not just a thriller in my eyes at least I did not see just a thriller I saw a fight for justice for compassion a fight for common sense in a time of political tension as the Cold War turned out to be and I thought the film was very considerate of the times the world was living in with regards to the costumes and the set design and the way the film was shot with tense colours and textures which is very true of the film, it's tense and exciting and when the end of the film comes you feel relieved that all the tension all the angst has gone away everyone has come to a peaceful resolution and that's a question I think the world needs to consider why can't the world come to some of sort of agreement into how to stop the threats that surround our world at this moment in time?, I'm not sure why it's so difficult sometime but hey ho back to the film, the film has an incredible sense of thrills and drama that is complemented by 2 very different performances by Tom Hanks and Mark Rylance Tom Hanks Plays James Donovan with extreme passion for his job and his loving family as he says in the film Everyone Matters he cares for his country and his wife very much and he feels satisfied when the exchange is negotiated with Russia and America he feels he's done the right thing, Mark Rylance on the other hand plays Rudolf Abel with a sense of relaxation a sense of calm my favourite lines in Bridge of Spies are when James Donovan asks whether Rudolf Abel feels worried and he simply replies would it help?, that's the sign of a fantastic script by Matt Charman with some help by the Coen Brothers amazing script and a fantastic debut script for a first time writer well done and I look forward to seeing his name on scripts in the future! Thomas Newman composes a fantastic score that fits the film although I wish it was John Williams's name on the film credits but ah well it's a shame but I expect we might have to see other composer's names on Steven Spielberg's films in the future in regards of John Williams's age! In conclusion Bridge of Spies is an outstanding return to film directing from Steven Spielberg, it's one of his very best in his recent film output up there with Lincoln most certainly and I am beyond excited to see him return to the fantasy genre with the BFG it's going to be quite something!
