I had seen its trailer quite some time back on Amazon Prime. Plus @DianneN talked about this movie. So I started watching this a few weeks back. Yet due to some or the other reason, I have seen it in Installments. This movie is made with the backdrop of the Cold war bitterness of the early 1960s between US and USSR, as well as the Cuban Missile Crisis. The main lead is Benedict Cumberbatch whose performance is superb. Overall, this is my second movie with cold war backdrop recently (The other one was "The Bridge of Spies"). Overall, a must watch movie.

The Courier - a scene from the movie
@DianneN Not everyone might enjoy it but I liked the concept and how the movie plays out! Another shot taken from the movie while watching.

I like watching films that are based on real life events. We're going to a movie tonight but I don't think it will be based on real life.

@JudyEv Some real life based movies are fine sometimes. Yet not always.
