About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a World War II resistance story with high-stakes schemes and moral pressure rather than constant combat; Not for you if you dislike talky, sometimes confusing plots like this can be (see also The Forgotten Battle).

Pros: gripping true-story tension; strong performances; evocative wartime atmosphere | Cons: confusing midsection; too much banking talk; uneven pacing
