Tom Hanks Hustle: Bridge of Spies

The next film on our list continues to show how well Mr. Hanks can turn into anyone he wishes. 


In the mist of the Cold War spies are being sent out by both the Soviet Union and the US. When Rudolf Able is arrested in New York for being a spy James B. Donovan is selected to be his lawyer. When the rest of the country just wants to sentence him to death and be done with it Donovan sees that his arrest was not conducted correctly and tries to really fight for him. However, this doesn't work for the judge thinks like the rest of the country. A few years last the CIA is on a secret mission of their own. When the plane is shot down over the USSR the piolet doesn't do what he is told, kill himself, and rather takes to being captured. He is sentenced to 10 years in confinement in the USSR. However, everything changes when Donovan is sent a letter from the government that the USSR would like to make a trade of spies.



When this movie first came out I really wanted to see it buy never really got the chance. Right before I saw the movie my mom said she saw it and said it was good. That is impressive coming from her! So, I was excited to watch. I loved how dramatic this movie felt without going over the top. Mr. Hanks also does a good job in his role. He knows that that goal of the film is to tell about the situations that happened along with the characters. This is one of the most interesting films I have seen so far. It was a smart write and cast and they really handled the film beautifully.
