Some things I liked some I did not.
This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
Great film.. story tochEd my heart....AFTER ALL IT IS BASED ON A TRUE STORY
It's not authentic. Many mistakes. Amateur approach.
For a start, I was expecting a sweet WWII movie, about the backgrounds, how Heydrich was solving problems. I hoped, that i will see some facts and some fantasies to be mashed up. Instead I got something boring. No better word.The film starts with introducing Heydrich in montages, and gives us some scenes about Heydrich's problems. But what are these problems' influences on the Obergruppenführer, we won't know that. Basically the first half is a montage, made out of montages.Then the focus moves to two rebels, who are planned to murder Heydrich. This part was more interesting, actually you want them to be successful. I was confused, that isn't this a movie about one officer? Appareantly, no, it's not. But this part was spoiled too. It's so heroic, that it just doesn't with the whole movie.And about the movie's quality: oh my god. I don't know if the cameraman had a shaking hand, or scenes are intentionally trembling, either way it looks awful. Top on this, the edit made it worse, so much stabilizing was added, it is visible with lots of ghost pictures...To summarize: my best entertainment was to recognize the Hungarian shooting sites.
Great movie! In my view the cast was very important in the charms of the movie. Jason Clarke was the perfect person for the role of Reinhard Heydrich. The way he acts is giving you sympathy for the person he play, meanwhile you don't want this sympathy feeling for this person. This internal sense of feeling gives the film a continuous tension from begin to end. In my view the abstract scene's always got some details in it, this makes that no scene is boring to watch. I personally like the movie build up, very well done.
