**The Good:** - Solid concept - Interesting characters - Keeps your attention **The Bad:** - Spoken in English. (Not a huge issue, but I would've preferred Czech language with subtitles) - Other than the best part there wasn't much that stands out and separates it from other films in the WWII category. **Best Part:** - [spoiler]The series of last stands at the church[/spoiler] Overall a very nice film. If you like WWII movies definitely check it out!

This film is so utterly depressing that I am fighting to write anything about it. I don't even know if I liked it. This is a drama about the German occupation of Czechoslovakia at the start of World War II. I am hot and cold with war movies, but am becoming more and more fascinated with the sacrifices people made, especially during the World Wars. The horrors of WWII are well-documented, but this film is based on a seldom told story of Operation Anthropoid, the WWII mission to assassinate SS General Reinhard Heydrich, Hitler's third in command. It's last 30 minutes are so dour and desperate that I almost turned it off. But I stayed with it out of respect for how well made it is.

Jamie Doran and Cillian Murphy are wonderful in this WW II true story. Telling war stories run a brittle balance between romanticizing heroism and being true to the ultimately tragic decisions made between survival and sacrifice. I was unaware of this bit of history. Good script and cast. I give this an 8 (good) out of 10.

Competent account of a fascinating true story, but it didn't have enough depth to make it truly stand out.

Ok. Didn’t grab me.
