About
You may like this if you enjoy wartime romance and resistance suspense with a glossy old-Hollywood feel, somewhat in the vein of The Big Lift; Not for you if you dislike propaganda-era melodrama or slow buildup.
Pros: suspenseful wartime setup; strong lead performance; patriotic intrigue | Cons: uneven pacing early; some miscasting complaints; plot can feel convoluted
