A superhero movie with a political thriller backdrop

Rating: 8/10 (21 September 2018)

Captain America: The Winter Soldier gives us a chance to see The Captain as a real superhero, and it exposes some of his vulnerabilities, as well. This movie offers up an intimidating opponent against the backdrop of a political thriller. There may be a few too many one-liners in this film -- everyone is a comedian -- and there are some plot holes that you'll politely have to ignore, but overall this is an enjoyable superhero movie with plenty of action.
