The Cold War is reaching its peak, and British businessman Benedict Cumberbatch is given the chance to prevent disaster. He is to become a liaison between the Western secret services and the Soviets, who are willing to share their country's biggest secrets. How long will they get away with it? The Courier is a very good-looking period piece with excellent actors, but unfortunately without strong emotions or significant tension. Professionally done, but ultimately a bit dull and unnecessarily conservative.

I have to give it to the filmmakers that they managed to capture the atmosphere of the time perfectly. Then I was literally flabbergasted by Benedict Cumberbatch's unprecedented physical transformation in order to portray the role as convincingly as possible. My only regret is that Cooke's movie lacks any kind of build-up and drama, everything kind of fizzles out. (65%)
