The courier is like a good recipe made with stale food. The recipe remains good, the dish itself also, but somehow this version is tasteless. The film has an exciting premise of a civilian turned spy, involves the viewer in the friendly relationship between the two main characters, spices it up with the work of the various intelligence agencies and, of course, the stakes are nothing less than a possible nuclear escalation in the cold war. Nevertheless, at least I wasn't tense or riveted for a second. This is not at all due to bad acting or bad acting which are at least average, if not above average. It's the incination that seems so standard and learned that you have the feeling you've seen it all before. Like a dish you've eaten a thousand times before, if it's not prepared specially or with special ingredients, but with stale ingredients, then it tastes boring.
