Excellent Cold War Drama

Rating: 10/10 (23 December 2015)

I just finished watching Bridge of Spies, I never saw a trailer and I knew only that it was a cold war true/story drama, I love Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg and that's all I need to know to buy a ticket. My only gripe, I wish this movie could have been longer. The atmosphere created really transports you to an era which seems so far away but only ended in (1989) twenty six years ago. There are plenty of stand out performances from a supporting cast of unknowns. Mark Rylance and Sebastian Koch really nail it and Hanks is brilliant. The movie is a fitting tribute to James Donovan who passed at the very young age of 53. I highly recommend this film.
