Audience Reviews for Bridge of Spies

• Mar 31, 2018

  Spielberg's drama about the exchange of prisoners during the early days of East germany behind the Berlin wall is no nail-biter but thoroughly entertaining. Tom Hanks is the obvious choice for the honorable lawyer negotiating the deal, but you can't fault him for being good at what he does. Rylance certainly deserved the Oscar for his supporting role as the imprisoned russian spy. The film mostly relies on its cold war atmosphere, the actors and their lines, but that works because there actually haven't really been a lot of films about this chapter in recent history yet.

  All of Spielberg's virtues are on display here, plus the added intensity of the writing of the Coen brothers. While the material has been dramatized, it appears that this movie does tell the truth about its subject. Excellent film. A must see.

  Spielberg crafts yet another all-time classic, as does Tom Hanks in the role of insurance attorney turned prisoner exchange negotiator during the Cold War in this true story adaptation. If you've wondered why a lawyer would defend someone accused of a heinous crime in the face of daunting evidence, this film will eloquently tell you all you need to know about the value of the American justice system. Although he has a much smaller role, Mark Rylance is every bit the equal to Hanks as the imprisoned Irish-born Russian spy. Janus Kaminski's photography heightens The emotional and intellectual impact of this terrific bu The emotional and intellectual impact of this beautifully written iscript from Joel & Ethan Coen and Matt Charman.

  An American lawyer goes to Cold War era Berlin to negotiate a hostage exchange. Tom Hanks and Mark Rylance, who surprisingly won Best Supporting Actor, lead this cast in a decently tense Cold War thriller. While it's true that the relationship between Donovan and Abel is underdeveloped, there's enough in this film to make their connection believable. And the plot moves slowly but surely. Spielberg, however, has no restraint in his message. The film is about American exceptionalism and the primacy of American Values (never mind the fact that several other countries share similar values). Yes, there are token "Bad Americans," but seen especially in a pair of scenes in which Germans attempting to climb a wall are killed and Americans attempting to climb a wall are safe (and not shot by police), the film pounds us over the head with just how wonderful we are. Without getting into a disagreement about the validity of Spielberg's point, we can simply say that the film lacks subtlety. Overall, there's a decent film here even if it's heavy-handed in parts.
