Benedict Cumberbatch fans remember watching all of
Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, or maybe that was just me. The point is he has a certain genre of film. As
Collider points out: It’s a Dad Genre. I say this as someone who has watched and enjoyed these “dad” movies. It’s me. I’m dad.
But they’re movies that are either war-adjacent or in a spy realm and don’t seem to be the action-packed life that
James Bond exists in. Think more of the intellectual side of being a spy, and with Cumberbatch’s new film
The Courier, he’s playing in that same intellectual space and … good.
