🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The Courier has mixed reviews with a rating of 6.3/10. Good for a relaxed evening without high expectations.
Not every film is made for everyone. Read the synopsis, watch the trailer — you'll know right away if it's for you.
Released in 2017, this film holds up just as well today. Best for: viewers looking to try something new without being too demanding.
