Geoffrey Macnab

The brilliance of Cumberbatch’s performance lies in the way he conveys both Wynne’s venality and his idealism.

What could have easily been a boring slog of a film is turned into a daring, intense drama

Cooke has clearly studied "The Third Man" and John LeCarré's spy novels, and creates an oppressive atmosphere filled with deep shadows from where suspicious eyes may be watching.

The Courier has everything you want in a Cold War spy thriller. It’s solidly paced and strikes a nice balance of suspense and moving human drama.

This is a gripping story of adversity against all odds, mixing patriotism and uncomplicated heroics with a well-paced structure that knows when to escalate and when to settle back into the calm.
