A dramatic thriller set against the backdrop of a series of historic events, Bridge of Spies tells the story of James Donovan (Hanks), a Brooklyn lawyer who finds himself thrust into the center of the Cold War when the CIA sends him on the near-impossible task to negotiate the release of a captured American U-2 pilot. Screenwriters Matt Charman and Ethan Coen & Joel Coen have woven this remarkable experience in Donovan’s life into a story inspired by true events that captures the essence of a man who risked everything and vividly brings his personal journey to life.
This movie had me so turned around. I thought it was all about spies and it really wasn't. Normally that would be disappointing based on expectations but not this movie. This movie, which was more about being a lawyer and dealing with difficult negotiation processes, was still a great watch. Major kudos to Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks for really hooking you into a movie that could have ended up being dull as hell to the point that you have no choice but to be thrilled with the ending.
I would definitely recommend people checking this movie out. It was a very enjoyable watch.
