About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a sweeping WWII story about friendship under pressure, shifting loyalties, and tense missions, similar in spirit to Black Book; not for you if you dislike long runtimes or explicit violence and nudity.
Pros: gripping wartime suspense; strong character arcs; authentic sense of place | Cons: long running time; graphic sex and violence; some scenes feel unlikely
