Will’s review published on Letterboxd:
Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014) Dir. The Russo Bros.
Film #42 in Lockdown
A film i have loved since i first watched it as a 12 year old. a plot that throws back to old school spook films like The Bourne Franchise or a DC 007 film. Chris Evans and Anthony Mackie’s chemistry here is spot on, you feel the relationship grow along with the story. The Russo’s bring a hard punch of action and drama to this film that will later be the staple and motto of the MCU. This doesn’t have many negatives, maybe a few draggy parts but this is a well crafted ‘agent on the run’ with good twists and events that will forever haunt the characters of this franchise.
