The Courier (2020)
Directed by Dominic Cooke this film based on real events stars Benedict Cumberbatch, Merab Ninidze, Rachel Brosnahan and Jessie Buckley. A British businessman is recruited to act as the go between for MI6 and the CIA with a Russian asset.
It seems that at least the final part of this film strays somewhat from historical record. For the most part this is a decent look at an unusual character caught up in cold war espionage. Ultimately a bit middle of the road despite the best efforts of Cumberbatch.
2/5
