Customer Reviews

What makes us Americans?

This is the retrospective version of a pivotal point in the history of a spy exchange, and the man “James B. Donovan,” played by Tom Hanks, who facilitated making it possible. I grew up in that era and remember the newspapers from that time. I followed it in “U.S. News & World Report”; at that time, it was quite informative and not an echo of “Time” and “Newsweek.” When I heard about this film, I could not resist, as it has great actors, producers, and directors. Not to mention the consultants. You already know that Tom Hanks is good at what he does; however, I was impressed with Mark Rylance’s portrayal of Rudolf Abel. The movie production itself has great scenes and costumes of the time that make it fascinating from start to finish. You feel that you are there. There is a speech, not quite as long as an Ayn Rand speech, that reminds us of what makes us Americans. The actual story comes off a tad different than the memory. A tad better, and I never received the full picture. Until I read differently, this will be my impression of the time. The presentation I watched did not offer a voice-over commentary. I hope a future version will.
