Not the zippiest narrative, nor one that treads much surprising narrative ground, but there’s a lot of pleasure in letting movie stars be movie stars in a throwback period spy drama. Both Pitt and Cotillard are magnetic. This might be Robert Zemeckis’s least characteristic work — the only audacious visual gimmick is a sandstorm that accompanies some car sex.
