Through The Trailers: Bridge of Spies Official Trailer #1 Review

Tom Hanks plays (James Donovan) an insurance lawyer recruited by the CIA during the Cold War to help rescue an American pilot detained in the Soviet Union. Directed by Steven Spielberg, that's when I knew I was going to watch this movie. You had me at Tom and you had me hooked on Steven. The key point of that gave this trailer gravity was when Amy Ryan (Mary Donovan) tells James to lie to her. Tell her that he's not going to be in any danger, even if its a lie, just give her something to hold on too. Wow! I do not like to use movies to teach history. But I suspect to learn a lot about certain events that I never paid attention in at school. The raising of the Berlin Wall for example, the tensions between American and how mob mentalities rage like wild fire when tension are this high. This movie will speak to a lot of current events. History is a rerunning events. This movie will reflect that upon us today.

Everyone deserves a defense. Every person matters. But lets be clear, no body is safe. These are dialog that comes from different scenes in the movie but the way this trailer pieces them together makes this an amazing work of marketing. I can't wait to check this one out. The band that played hits like Catch Me if You Can & Saving Private Ryan is back in Bridges of Spies.
