Bridge of Spies

Spielberg movies, that he is an incredible craftsman, who lacks art. He casts perfectly. That's the first rule of directing. He has an incredible cinematic eye, the best.He cannot get out of his Own way. There's never an unpredictable or say wot? spontaneous moment. He is annoyingly manipulative with music. One wants to say, "I feel what I feel. Don't push your sentiments at me!" Hanks is impeccable. It's brilliance without heart and soul. Fantastic filming with no surprises, no trust of its viewer.

It's a good story, well acted and interesting but it lacks depth. There are a lot of slow moments and the dialog stalls. There are some excellent scenes and Tom Hanks tries his best to pull this one along but it certainly could have used a bit more pep. The ending is anticlimactic. If you're a die hard Tom Hanks fan, then you'll enjoy this one. If you're looking for a thriller or a complex spy drama, then you'll probably be bored.

I would like to start off this review by saying that this movie was very interesting. However there are 2 major complaints that I have. One is that I thought that the first half of the movie was not that good. I didn't get the intense story that I expected but luckily the second half made up for it. My second complaint is that for some reason everyone in the movie appeared to be sick. It bugged me that during the entire movie the main characters were blowing their noses and it never seemed to impact the story in any way. I would rate this movie a 8 out of 10.
