pneary-58368's rating
I was really looking forward to this film because it's based on the book of the same name by Ben Macintyre, which was brilliant.
It starts off very strong, setting the scene, as in wartime Britain and at what point of the war it is, and highlighting the importance of the mission that the main characters will do.
Unfortunately as other reviewers have said the main plot of the movie is not the focus at times and instead it focuses on, frankly, irritating sub-plots. The strength of the film is the intelligence work that the characters do and that should have been the focus.
The acting was great. I particularly liked, Jason Isaacs as John Godfrey a naval commander and Simon Russel Beale as Winston Churchill.
Overall, worth watching, especially if you normally like World War Two dramas or spy stories, but potentially could have been better I think.
