City of Spies (2022)
9/10
Quirky but fun with a shocking twist
5 April 2023
There are a lot of quirky elements to this film, some of which perhaps require a second viewing to start to notice. There is a lot of subtle humour to some of the characters which can easily be missed. The end is quite a shock and overall I expect this film will develop something of a cult audience over time. A lot of the themes in the film explore the idea of the intelligence community as a bunch of self serving charlatans. The story feels like it is not fully complete at the end. I suspect there will be plans to make a follow up as the main characters clearly need more closure. This probably not everyone's cup of tea but it has plenty of moments.
