Bridge of Spies, 3 Stars

I liked this movie. It is long (2 hrs & 15 min) and deliberate. It is somewhat like Cast Away which Tom Hanks was also in - long and ponderous and it could have been shorter.

But it is a good and interesting story. Hanks is, of course, his usual competent self and dominates the film. Mark Rylance, with whom I'm not familiar, is excellent playing a calm, unflappable character. The rest of the cast is solid but no one else stood out.

We rented this and so we could take breaks along the way. I'm glad I saw it but I'm not sure I'd see it again.
