Of course, I had to check out Spielberg's new film to see where his skills have gone. Luckily, I was able to watch a pretty excellent addition to his filmography. Tom Hanks is as great as he always is in here, but the actor I really loved in this was Mark Rylance who plays the USSR spy. He was just so engaging in every scene he's in, even though he's incredibly subtle in what he does. The whole opening sequence with him keeps you locked in despite a lack of dialogue.
Pretty much everything about the movie is done well, but I do have just a bit of an issue with the length being pretty long. It kind of feels like there could have been two separate films from this, or that it would have been perfect for a two parter TV film or something. No biggie though, because everything packed in there is certainly worth your extra time.
