Steven Spielberg’s Critically Acclaimed Spy Thriller Starring Tom Hanks
Arrives on Blu-ray™ Combo Pack and Digital HD February 2, 2016
I was given a copy of "Bridge of Spies" to facilitate this review, but all opinions are my own.
Is your husband tired of romantic comedies and chick-flicks? Are you looking for a date night movie that will keep you both on the edge of your seats? "Bridge of Spies" is a dramatic thriller that will do just that. When a Soviet spy (Rudolf Abel played by Mark Rylance) is discovered and put on trial in New York, James Donovan (played by Tom Hanks) is assigned as his defense attorney. Donovan manages to convince the court to imprison, rather than execute Abel, in case they ever need him in the future as a bargaining chip. Not long after the decision, Donovan is tasked by the CIA to help negotiate the release of an American spy pilot who has been captured overseas. He travels to Berlin to negotiate a possible prisoner exchange. At each stage of the movie, there are twists and turns that build suspense in this story. Inspired by actual historic events, "Bridge of Spies" is masterfully directed by Steven Spielberg. See more information On: Facebook Twitter Website
