  • "With all the health measures in place, this summer, the American cinema should gradually open. If everything goes well, we feel like a real spy thriller like" Messenger "starring Benedict Cumberbatch, It is a must-see film that will allow viewers to return to the cinema at the end of August, " The Courier's producer said in a statement.

When " The Courier" premiered in Sundance under the name "Ironbark ", the film festival chairman called the film very "unique" and a rare time-series movie on the big screen. Although The Courier is adapted from a very serious real story, there is also a sense of humor in it, which is a spy film that will make audiences like it.
