Impressive meet between the directorial art of Clint Eastwood and Tom Hanks gift. Result - a powerful, convincing fresco. Remarkable for impeccable construction, for the entire architecture and for the lovely force of detail. And, sure, for its profound humanism. Because, after the final images, you understand - it is not the film of an American hero but it is a convincing pledge for fundamental values. That defines it . As one of the most beautiful reflection of the expectations of each from us.
