Bridge of Spies (2015)

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Movie Review: "Bridge of Spies" (2015)Three years after releasing Academy-Award-nominated "Lincoln" starring Daniel Day-Lewis as 16th President of the United States, comes this Berlin-Wall building time period og early 1960s Germany screenplay atmospherically-researched by Joel & Ethan Coen to the utmost attention of director Steven Spielberg, who had decided to make it a 135-Minute Polit-Drama, which no one hurts of just being clever motion picture entertainment.Leading actor Tom Hanks as capable U.S. constitution-defending Lawyer James B. Donovan, who travels to post-world-war-II Berlin, Germany in highly-visceral as moody remaining 35mm film cinematography by Janusz Kaminski and professional because accurate production design by Academy-Award-winner Adam Stockhausen, when "Bridge of Spies" already wastes his suspense feed in the first 30 minutes screening a remarkable sequence featuring supreme support actor Mark Rylance as the character Rudolf Abel, who exchanges tiny encrypted messages within only razor-sharpness' able to open split metallic coins for the precious "Intel" with regard to common park-bank placements."Bridge of Spies" directed by Steven Spielberg is no surprise, but highly-professional, enduring as a quality motion picture, nevertheless missing the moment of truth, at least emotionally with a title-given bridge-exchange of cold-war prisoners in the final thirty minutes to no suspense-consequence of just being there.FAZIT: Picture approved (breakable) Copyright 2018 Cinemajesty Entertainments LLC

It's very slow, but still brilliant to say the least.

This is the best movie I ever watched. I love it. It keeps me at the edge of my chair all the time. No it is not the thrill, but the passion, the humanity, and the love that made me cry many times. Tom Hanks, I love him, at his top performance ( btw he is always). I have actually a one line comment for this movie, "What a movie".

I just finished watching Bridge of Spies. Before I tell you what I think I just want to say that despite my perceptions, I still think the movie was a decent movie. The acting, cinematography, directing, and script were all superb, and I cannot say enough about Tom Hanks, he truly is one of the best actors in Hollywood. All that aside, the movie was boring. While the acting and directing were well done, there was nothing interesting about what was happening. Just another spy movie - without the action - with a pretty predictable ending. There was no action, no twists, no interesting commentary or argumentative dialogue surrounding the particular political atmosphere at the time. Just a pretty straight forward storyline with nothing to capture, or retain, interest (in terms of the storyline). With that in mind, I don't want to say it was a bad movie because it wasn't. I suppose I just expected more. With that in mind, I would still recommend the movie, so long as one isn't expecting any fireworks...and has had plenty of coffee in advance.
