About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a WWII-era Mounties-versus-spies adventure with steady suspense and classic heroics, similar to Desperate Journey; Not for you if you dislike propaganda-leaning stories or need highly realistic plotting.
Pros: brisk suspense and action; wintry adventure setting; charismatic lead presence | Cons: far-fetched plotting; uneven second half; romance feels tacked-on
