Here comes another review of a movie we got to see in our local Sneak Preview and I am writing about Only The Brave [IMDb, Trailer (YouTube)].

First things first: If you don’t like spoilers, plan to watch this movie yourself and are not aware of true story…

Our year started off strong in terms of the Sneak Preview with Wind River [IMDb, Trailer (YouTube)], Taylor Sheridan’s second movie. While it originally premiered at the Sundance festival a year ago, it only now slowly arrives in cinemas here in Germany.

After last time’s disaster we were hopeful that this week the Sneak Preview could only be better. And it was. We got to see Our Kind of Traitor (German: “Verräter Wie Wir”) [IMDb, Trailer].
