Sterling performances and accomplished filmmaking drive Sean Ellis's dramatic retelling of the World War II plot to assassinate an SS Officer in Czechoslovakia.
This gruelling but well-made thriller.
Cillian Murphy stars in this intelligent thriller about the Czech resistance fighters who assassinated an architect of the Holocaust in 1942.
A sincere, slow-burning drama that eventually delivers a gripping, bullet-strewn climax.
It’s a remarkable story, but director Sean Ellis doesn’t really do it justice, resorting to lots of shaky cam cinematography to convey the chaos of the times and saddling his actors with Euro-pudding accents and clunky dialogue.
Jamie Dornan and Cillian Murphy star as Czech resistance fighters in this bracing dramatisation of a second world war mission.
A compelling and moving interpretation of a largely forgotten moment in European history.
