      Audience Member If you can get past the shock of how dated it looks, it settles into a pretty good retelling of the Reinhard Heydrich assassination. Anton Diffring plays a very good Heydrich but if the true story is new to you, watch the film Anthropoid instead which is a modern retelling of the same story and has far more impact. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member The plot is certainly interesting, even more for quite an important event during the WWII, but the movie doesn't really add anything to the story that cannot be read in a quick glance to the Wikipedia. The cast performs as if they would be robots, with poor dialogues, and the directing feels like if it would be done with a ruler and following a strict method. Not too bad in the latter, but it doesn't feel natural at all. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member Just caught the final 20 minutes and while it was quite gripping, it didn't end well for those involved. Based on a true story apparently so they stayed faithful to the real individuals, but in my World War II movies I generally like the Nazis to lose and the good guys to survive. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member An all time favorite movie, the sacrifice was inspiring Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Although this has a cheapo made-for-tv feel look about it, apart from some quite terrible 1970s music, Operation Daybreak is actually pretty good. The true story is worth telling, filmed competently well in the actual location, with some quite exciting action sequences. The version I saw had Czech subtitles which didn't exactly help, and it may not be a barrel of laughs, but even so, I quite enjoyed it. 7/10 Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Siete hombres al amanecer [1975] Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
