BRIDGE OF SPIES | 10.16.15 | Disney | final domestic gross: $72,313,754

[Ethan Hunt]

The new trailer is a lot better than the old one but still... Eh

[tonytr87]

The material just seems tired. Cold War espionage? Do we care anymore?

Yes, tensions are mounting with Russia again, but not to the point where the Red Scare is relevant again.

agree this will limit its gross worldwide. but disney marketing machine + hanks/spielberg should ensure a solid DOM gross .

This being a good movie is necessary, because I agree the subject matter isn't particularly compelling right now.

Spielberg's Bridge of Spies finally plays today. Watch Mark Rylance leap to the top of everybody's supporting actor predictions.

 

I found it powerful & emotional. Imagine a Stanley Kramer film fused with Hitchcock. That's Spielberg's Bridge of Spies.

 

@mrbeaks

BRIDGE OF SPIES. Honor amongst enemies as a means of saving civilization. Excellent, understated Spielberg w/ brilliant Mark Rylance perf.

People are tweeting about BRIDGE OF SPIES so I will, too. (Saw it earlier pre-NYFF.) It's good! Not great. Have a full piece coming later.

Happy that it's good. Always excited for a Hanks/Spielberg flick.

[Hatebox]

To this day I'm annoyed I never caught Mark Rylance in 'Jerusalem.' London critics called it the best play and performance in the last couple of decades. He also won about 3 Tony Awards too.

@DeadlinePete

Bridge of spies is masterful fillmmaking. It's spielberg's best since Saving Private Ryan. And that goes for Hanks too. A real contender.

 

@dan_quiterio

Spielberg's a master for a reason. (5/5) 

 

@ZSharf

BRIDGE OF SPIES is Spielberg at his most restrained. Hanks, Rylance (mvp) & the Coens cadence are strong touches to a well-oiled machine

 

@kylebuchanan

BRIDGE OF SPIES has a terrific silent opening, a deliciously written second scene, and then....

But I wanted great!

[Claire of Themyscira]

Glad to see this is getting some good feedback on Twittah so far from these critics.

 

[AniNate]

Trade reviews are out. Does look like this will be remembered as a minor Spielberg effort.

[Ezen Baklattan]

Guess it's going to be closer to War Horse than to Lincoln, but that's still no reason to dismiss it.

[Klingo]

Should be something more modern espionage.  Like SALT.
