Alexander Biehn is the reason this lands

Alexander Biehn was the thing I kept watching in Bridge of Spies (2015). It is the kind of performance that quietly makes the movie sturdier. A couple of tiny timing choices really stuck with me. There is a nice lived-in quality to it, nothing too forced. I bought the character pretty quickly, which is not always easy in this kind of film. It is less about one scene and more about the overall aftertaste.
