Good solid consistent entertainment

Rating: 8/10 (21 January 2016)

When you see the name Spielberg expectations go up. Add in Tom Hanks and expectations go even higher.
Fortunately this film does not disappoint. In many films you will have "a best bit" or "the first half was slow but then it got better" type comments.
Bridge of spy's is consistent throughout, like a cinematic Rolls Royce. It looks good. It sounds good. The ride is smooth and comfortable and it doesn't need any tacky gimmicks to liven things up. Because it is well engineered class.
This is an excellent story of Cold War espionage and intrigue. Tom Hanks gives his usual great performance but he is almost outshone by the captured Russian agent. You even get some genuine humour as a bonus.
I very much enjoyed the film and wouldn't mind seeing it again sometime
