So this is a movie that I accidentally came across on the Streaming network by Sony available in India as Sonyliv.
It was mentioned that this movie was nominated for many oscar awards and won the award for best supporting actor : Mark Rylance as Agent Abel.
Tom Hanks is also good as usual but well, he did not got any award nominations.
The movie is in the backdrop of cold war in the late 1950s when USSR and US also had tensions flaring up including Cuba.
Plus we have the West and East German equation also in the picture.
Overall worth watching if one can get past a few uninteresting initial scenes.

I would check out "Courier". I think this one is available on Amazon Prime.
Is this too based on the Cold war?

So would the folks charge a lot for cleaning?
Do the landlords there make an issue like "You made this wall dirty" or "You did not got this and that fixed...? "

I saw and liked that movie. Tom Hanks always makes quality movies, and they are not obnoxious like a lot of current movies seem to be, with the F word gratutiously used all the time.
