The Courier (2021)

A thrilling old-school spy adventure elevated by a fact-based story!

I am a huge fan of Benedict Cumberbatch. I love his acting in nearly every role he has ever played. When I saw that The Courier (2021) was out and that he was starring in it, I knew I had to check it out. I'm glad I did because as expected, his acting was extraordinaire and the story was quite thrilling. It is essentially an intense Cold War thriller based on facts and a true-life story.

The description of The Courier (2021), as stated on iTunes, is:

"In this true-life Cold War spy thriller, unassuming British businessman Greville Wynne (Benedict Cumberbatch) becomes entangled in one of the greatest international conflicts in history. Recruited by MI6 and a CIA operative (Rachel Brosnahan), Wynne forms a covert partnership with Soviet officer Oleg Penkovsky (Merab Ninidze), and both men risk everything in a danger-fraught race against time to provide the intelligence needed to prevent nuclear confrontation and end the Cuban Missile Crisis."
