'The Courier' is a sold cold war espionage/human interest story based on real events. A pleasant throw back, perhaps mildly smarter then it needed to be. As I was unfamiliar with the source story I was a little surprised by a late film complication, though I probably shouldn't have been. What is most interesting about the film I think is seeing Benedict Cumberbatch, who has made a career out of playing unusually gifted men, play a rather average one, it might not have worked but I think it did. ***
