The Courier

It would seem like a preposterous plot, expect it was a real story. Like all films of this ilk, it hits you with a cut to the real life people at the end of the film and what happens afterwords. It was a tight movie with little wasted time. All the actors play their parts closely and result is a tense and realistic feel of what it must have felt like to be a semi-professional spy during the cold war. Instead of glamor, it gave us broken promised, tattered relationships, and people just trying to do what they can and what they see as right. Above all, it showed how much duty can drive a person.
