The Review:
the directing in this movie was remarkable, the Director "Dominic Cooke" do a wonderful work in this movie ,Although there are similarities between his dinner scene and a famous episode of Westworld ,but it is okay. He also Succeeded in Attracting viewers' attention during the whole movie, I was never bored....from first scene to the last one.
The Cinematography also was nice. It reflected the general atmosphere of the 1960s
All actors really did great performance especially Benedict Cumberbatch , He did a great performance in this movie. Remember sherlock, imitation game ,current war and now The Courier, these are his type of movies he was created for. Jessie Buckley did two great scenes and of course Merab Ninidze was amazing in the film.
I think this movie is 'inspired by' a true story not "built on"
the writer add this touch to the true story
the point is The Courier deserves more than that. It is really great movie. I Surprised that it didn't make much fuss.
score 9/10
