A little more informative than entertaining, but "Bridge of Spies" is broad film perfect for history buffs.

Well this was disappointing.It cannot be denied that Spielberg has an eye for period detail in his films and Bridge of Spies features good acting. Tom Hanks is the typical all-American good guy and Mark Rylance is a revelation as convicted Soviet spy Rudolf Abel. He earned that Oscar. But what begins as a promising trial movie instead expands into a sprawling geopolitical thriller concerning the U2 incident where Hanks is tasked with exchanging Abel for a captured American pilot. It's well made and well acted but nowhere close as interesting as the first act and by the final denouement it has lost its luster.
