the verifiable historical content is unsurpassed in this well articulated best seller. I recommend this read to everyone. In our country's current political climate, an unabashed verifiable history lesson is much needed. you will get that lesson here.

"Quite possibly the key visual-historical document of the twentieth century, and a monumentally great movie to boot. Inexhaustible, simultaneously ephemeral and eternal, investigative and meditative, but always with two sturdy feet on this horrific and beautiful earth."

Fantastic historical crime thriller
It's a rarity to find a historical crime thriller based in a country other than the US, UK or Australia so this was a refreshing welcome. Abir Mukherjee does a fabulous job of bringing Kolkata to life and bringing in a protagonist who is sympathetic to the 'natives'.

As someone with roots in Kolkata and having lived there for many years, it was wonderful to remember the humdrum of India. And more importantly weaving in some of the hypocrisy found during colonialism to make it a realistic account.

Fabulous historical political biopic
It's easy to dismiss this as another big budget Hollywood film, however, the fact that Tom Hanks' character has to fight against the American judicial system makes it seem less like a "Make America Great Again" type of movie. Jim Donovan was a unique lawyer defending a Soviet spy, and then making an exchange for a US soldier and student stuck in East Berlin. The historical political nature of this biopic is fascinating. And while there is an element of hero worshipping, there's a good reason to love Tom Hanks.
