Bridge of Spies 2015 - 4 1/2 stars out of 5 stars

The only reason I took 1/2 star off this masterpiece was its obvious timing to todays Muslem threat  and I dislike the timing.That said,history does repeat and it is often bad.This film relates the communist threat to Islam’s radicle threat BUT is honest enough to show that communism was a danger as well as a phobia.
For me its the best film of the year and not long at 142 minutes.Why Tom Hanks as James B. Donovan and Director  Steven Spielberg were left out of the Oscar nominations is a CRIME after that trash of “The Revenant” that I reviewed yesterday.Go figure !!!!Now I know cold war films are NOT for everyone but the historic reminders of this story are of me,MUST SEE.So the trailer URL follows the picture and a IMDB summary is below.Duck and Cover !!!!!


During the Cold War, an American lawyer is recruited to defend an arrested Soviet spy in court, and then help the CIA facilitate an exchange of the spy for the Soviet captured American U2 spy plane pilot, Francis Gary Powers.
