Spielberg and Hanks do it again

Rating: 10/10 (23 October 2015)

Has a director Steven Spielberg never ceases to amaze me, so does Tom Hanks as an actor. It's 2 hours and 20 minutes, but because it's so well paced it never feels likes it is that long. The film really shows how politics where in the late 50's, a somewhat crazy era.
James Donovan(Tom Hanks) a lawyer who is defending an immigrant named Adel(Mark Rylance) who is suspected of being a spy, even though Donovan encounters a lot of hatred by a lot of people for taking the case.
There is a lot more to the movie in which I don't want to spoil. It feels like a two parter of a movie. Hanks really delivers in his performance, I like the way he never backs down, in the face of all the hatred he endures. His determination is what keeps the movie going. Spielberg also shows the greatness of the director that he is. Really capturing the era of that time. I feel the film goes beyond just being a cold war thriller.
