BradWesley123's Movie Journal- September 2018 (33 movies items)

" Amazon Prime- 2hrs. 3min. First Viewing At first, The Russia House appears to have everything going for it. Great leads, confident direction, and Le Carre source material.

Things just happen, and then it ends. It's impressively mounted, but hollow. "
