1989 - A Spy Story

Of you like Cold War history and storylines then you'll definitely enjoy this movie.

It is by no means a nail biting thriller but it does an excellent job in capturing the essence of the time and place in East and West Berlin right at the point when the Wall collapsed.

It's also an intriguing look at the CIA's intense inner workings and efforts at infiltrating the East and extracting information - and people - from there.

The acting is first rate as well as the directing and production value. And though it may not be nominated for any major awards, there were hardly any moments or events that seemed far fetched or unbelievable. People in the Easy were not only scared of those from the West, ut moreso of people on their own side, and that existence of fear was just a part of life.

I would recommend this film. It's a good little history lesson we should not forget.
