Compelling film 9.5/10

Rating: Null/10 (5 May 2019)

Captain America - The Winter Soldier (CAtWS) is a solid film. The plot starts off with a hostage situation on a cargo ship. The pirates were hired by a mysterious super assassin, known simply as "The Winter Soldier". After a successful mission, an attempt on the life of Nick Fury leads Captain Rodgers ("Cap") to cross paths with WS... This movie might almost be seen as a Black Widow / Steve Rodgers film, since Scarlett gets plenty of screen time. A new superhero, Falcon, also makes an appearance. Pursuing the Winter Soldier leads Cap to discover that S.H.I.E.L.D may not be as failsafe as previously thought. The heroes must take on a looming existential conspiracy that threatens the whole world... There is also a major discovery of the true identity of someone thought to have been lost long ago. Overall, a superb Marvel film, my 3rd favorite behind GotG and the Avengers.
