User Reviews
Bridge Of Spies is a
well acted, thrilling, smart Cold War drama that features a Oscar worthy
performance from Tom hanks. Bridge of Spies tells the true story of a
Cold War spy swap, during the height of tension between the U.S. and
Russia. The time period was so tense that when films can capture that
tone it's usually special, that being said the film doesn't quite
capture that tone, but it comes close. Tom Hanks performance, and
Spielberg's seasoned direction manage to save the film. When the film
could have been slow, they save it by using either humor, or great
acting, Acting that will most likely get Hanks an Oscar nomination. In
the end Bridge of Spies isn't as good as it could have been, but is
still admittedly a great film that will undoubtedly get plenty of
recognition at the 2015 Academy Awards.
