Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is a good Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg collaboration!

The movie arrived as promised. It is a great movie.

We needed another copy of the movie Bridge of Spies because someone borrowed it and lost it. My mother loves it, so it was a gift to her. Thanks for having it in stock.

One of the best movies I’ve ever watched. Highly recommended.

Great performance by Tom Hanks. Entertaining story based on actual events. Spielberg is a master story teller. Blu Ray disc was a steal at Best Buy's reduced price.

“Bridge of Spies” is an excellent film directed by Steven Spielberg starring Tom Hanks telling the (not so well known) story of authentic American-hero James B. Donovan whose expert negotiating skills and unshakable-ethics were not only effective in bringing-home (from behind the Iron-curtain) downed U-2 pilot Francis Gary Powers and American student studying in East-Germany Fredric Pryor. In the process James Donovan also demonstrated to the World our hallowed ideals of fairness, integrity & rule-of-Law = ideals that Western democracies still strived to maintain during those ambiguous (and precarious) dark-Days associated with the bitter/frigid 'Cold-War' Spielberg’s film masterfully evokes that particular atmosphere of tension-mistrust-misunderstanding (and sometimes even deliberate-deception of course) that was commonplace during much of the Cold-War period (but especially so in the 1950’s and 60’s – when the free-flow of unfiltered information was a very rare commodity indeed) And principled individuals like James B. Donovan (who had the ability to ethically navigate thru the dense shadows & fog) were true godsends (and perhaps ultimately contributed to even staving-off thermo-nuclear conflagration) Tom Hanks portrays Donovan in a brilliantly ‘down-to-Earth’ manner = i.e. honest, unpretentious, tough-minded but compassionate.

The drama catches the attention. Tom Hanks provides another good performance. Bu Ray brings very good color and sharpness to watch the movie.

Thrilling masterpiece by Steven Spielberg. Great HD transfer and the drama pieces are well set. Rewatchable and highly reccomended.

The plot-line is superbly written as is the film’s 7.1 sound-track and 7.1 sound-effects which are specifically tailored to each scene – both-of-which draws the audience-into a very immersive viewing experience. It is very evident that the director of the film went to great lengths to replicate the 1961-62 East Berlin experience – clothing, uniforms, automobiles, military equipment, the building of the Berlin Wall, the East Berlin’s neighborhoods down-trodden experience both exterior as-well-as-interior, and the peoples persona – both Russian and East German. The film exudes the periods memories and emotional sentiments toward the Cold War period - both at home and abroad. This film will emotionally draw the audience-in more than just several times and bring out your pride in America as-well-as your thanks to James Donovan – the quiet hero of the film and his family. Additional Info: The Glienickle Bridge [the “exchange” bridge], 14109 Berlin Street [the Bridge of Spies] crosses the Havel River and connects the Wannsee district of Berlin with the Brandenburg capital Potsdam – the view of the bridge remains the same (2018) as it was during the period of the film except Guard Posts and Obstacles have been removed and traffic flows over it freely.

I love psychological movies very good spy movie Tom Hanks is phenomenal I've seen lots of his movies is when this one is A

Always wanted to see it but didnt want to pay full price. Great deal here and interesting storyline. Bit slow going though

Excellent spy story with a good performance by Tom Hanks and an award winning turn by Mark Rylance. Not to be missed

A lawyer is challenged to mitigate a prisoner exchange between the US and Russia. Excellent plot and ending.

I'm not going to say anything new or anything you probably haven't already heard about the latest from Steven Spielberg, but hopefully it will still be somewhat insightful and interesting to you, the reader. Come to think of it, that's kind of what Spielberg himself has done with Bridge of Spies. There is nothing new or original about what he's put on display here, but it is still very much an engaging and insightful take on the topic he's decided to tackle. Everything about the film, from it's period setting of 1957 during the height of the Cold War to the fact it once again pairs the most famous director in the world with the most likable actor in the world, Tom Hanks, screams pedigree and pure Oscar bait. What's reassuring is that Bridge of Spies never comes off as such. It aspires to be little more than an intense study of the small details of human interaction and what crafts us to be the people we truly are as tested by extraordinary circumstances. This is a film purely for adult viewers, not because it contains anything too risque for younger viewers sans a few curse words, but because it is a film that moves slowly, builds it's character and tension assuredly and then delivers an overall message that comes at the story from a very distinct perspective only making us consider the many other perspectives one could see this story from (which is sorta the point). Bridge of Spies isn't anything to necessarily write home about in that regard, but while you're watching it, as you're sitting there experiencing it, you can do little more than appreciate the obvious care and dedication that has gone into producing this handsomely mounted picture. That it includes a solid performance from Hanks and something of a revelatory showing by character actor Mark Rylance only emphasizes further the type of respect a film such as this deserves; not only because it is indisputably a good movie that consists mainly of adults talking, but respect for it's backers and makers for being willing to create an old school drama during a time when it seems anything in the realm of adult-skewing entertainment is labeled as less than profitable.

Great film about the art of negotiating. Spielberg and Hanks tell a convincing human story for all sides.

Spectacular film chronicling one of the most intense Cold War stories. Stellar acting, story and action.

This is a great combination,we have Spielberg,Hanks and a movie drama about spies and cold war.Thumbs Up!!

In a classic Hanks' style, this is gripping and keep you on the edge from beginning to end.

I lived during fall of Berlin wall this movie is from beginning of east west segregation.

Tom Hanks is outstanding in this twist and turns spy movie. Spielbergs one of his best flixs
