About
Not for you if you want a deeply original take with constant stakes, since it can feel by-the-numbers and sometimes predictable; fans of The Eagle has Landed-style historical suspense may enjoy Valkyrie and Alone in Berlin.
Pros: engaging historical thriller; strong suspense; watchable performances | Cons: limited jeopardy; uneven pacing; predicted outcome
