In October 2021, I watched The Courier for the first time at Movix Kameari. The American-British spy film is released in 2020 starring Benedict Cumberbatch.
It is based on the true story about Greville Wynne, a
businessman in London, who was requested by the Secret Intelligence Service to
assist its espionage and got to undertake it.
If an ordinary businessman living for his family's happiness
was requested by his nation's intelligence organization to go to a foreign country
under the guise of business trips and contact an informant who has classified
information, he at first would reluctantly cooperate with it for world peace, gradually have
patriotism that he had not done so much, get ready to work for it and finally
become friends with the foreign informant. I can imagine that, however, nobody can do
the act of chivalry that Mr. Wynne performed for the Soviet spy behind the
Cuban Missile Crisis. Basically, it was reckless.
Benedict Cumberbatch gave a wonderful performance as
Mr. Wynne who worries about the safety of the traitor to his
homeland and continues to struggle even after he has fulfilled his jobs. The
acting of Cumberbatch toward the ending especially was really emotional and reminded
me of Kevin Bacon acting in Murder in the
First.
I had viewed Thirteen
Days and JFK, so I thought that I
had known about the Cuban Crisis so much, however, the flick was more meaningful
because it kind of showed me the role that the actual intelligence organization
played behind the American politician's distress. Although I enjoy seeing the
activities of super spies like James Bond and Ethan Hunt, yet I am intrigued in
doing the ones of real ones like ones in the movie because I can enjoy a
sense of more real tension.
