Christian A A clumsy, awkward reproduction of an interesting story. The pacing is off throughout the film, to the point where the goal is unclear. What begins with an overzealous “girl power” hook, quickly loses its way with stiff acting and cumbersome dialogue. The colour pallet is pleasant, but underserved by the lazy cinematography. That being said, the underlying story is interesting, and the setting props up this film just enough to make it watchable.

Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/01/24 Full Review Es K Heartbreaking yet so inspiring! Such courage these women possessed who knew the risks were very possible they would not survive. Because they believed in their mission and abhorred Hitlers violence so much that they were willing to risk it all as many did. These women were all heros. A must watch! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/14/23 Full Review Keith W Well despite the usual stupid men, clever women stuff at the start this turned out to be engaging as it was clearly based on real people and events - courageous people whose courage often goes unsung. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/09/23 Full Review Martin B Thomas and Apte were good. Katic wasn't up to the roll at all given the potential depth of the character. A gal tale. A lot of spies died in the early going, mostly men but the focus of this movie one woman in particular so the theme centered around women seemed apt. Important story but a light weight in execution. Some scenes really not staged well at all and transitions a little clunky. It's like they knew what had to come next, slapped a scene together to advance the plot and hoped it would work in editing. Like making it to the river. But in the end it was informative, historical and told the story of exceptional women, one in particular with a wooden leg. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/20/23 Full Review Peter W Overall, those who enjoy a dramatic war film will find this story very interesting and touching.  It is a story I was not familiar with, filled with tremendous performances and a strong musical score.  Considering this is the director's second feature, it is certainly praiseworthy and was able to bring a true story to life that is rather powerful and unforgettable.
