As we prepare for the opening of theaters and the return to normal life practices, we want to remind people that we are still within the thralls of a pandemic, and recommend people check out our article on ”If You Should Go Out” Here. Until then though, if you do go to a theater make sure it has a policy of requiring attendees to wear masks, and sit in isolated groups out of proximity of other viewers.
The Courier – Releasing in Theaters
Rotten Tomatoes Reviewer Score – 82%
Based on true-life, Greville Wynne, played by Benedict Cumberbatch, is a businessman. However, he is recruited into a conflict by a CIA operative, played by Rachel Brosnahan. His duty forces him to befriend a Soviet officer to acquire intelligence to prevent nuclear war during the Cuban Missile Crisis.
The Cuban Missile Crisis was a major event in the history of the USA. Most Americans did not know how close we came to launching missiles. This movie shows not only the spy lifestyle in a more realistic way, but also a piece of America at its most fearful.
