The Courier

— A decent enough spy movie and maybe even better if you were alive during the Cuban Missile Crisis, but it is a little slower and not quite as complicated as spy movies of the John le Carré or Robert Ludlam variety. Luckily, Benedict Cumberbatch can easily carry it and Rachel Brosnahan, missing most of her irritating Mrs. Maisel mannerisms, works well as a CIA agent. I was happy with it and would recommend it as a good, solid film of it’s genre. [Amazon Prime streaming.]
