The true story of a British businessman unwittingly recruited into one of the greatest international conflicts in history. Forming an unlikely partnership with a Soviet officer hoping to prevent a nuclear confrontation, the two men work together to provide the crucial intelligence used to defuse the Cuban Missile Crisis.
Benedict Cumberbatch has really evolved into one of those actors that I will pretty much watch him in anything. Never really been a history or espionage buff so didn't have high expectations for this film and probably would have pulled the plug if someone else wasn't playing the lead. But he does such a great job of keeping you hooked and watching his journey that the movie ended up being pretty decent.
I would lukewarmly recommend people checking this one out. It's not a must see by any means but it was a decent watch because of Señor Cumberbatch.
