Spy like you

No pun intended - and not really like you (and me). Especially considering the stakes and the time this plays. On the other hand this is based on something real - whether it stays true to facts is another story (again no pun intended) and something I cannot be certain about to be honest.

There are many things surrounding the second world war - and a lot of stories too. You cannot know all of them I reckon. The tension this movie creates is off the charts for sure. The acting is also very good to say the least. The stakes are high - and as you may imagine there are a lot things that can go wrong ... but will they? You have to watch ... nail biting at times and never failing to excite. We of course know who the bad guys are ... which helps.
