The plot: British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and a group of military officials hatch a daring plan to neutralize Hitler’s fleet of German U-boats during World War II. Made up of a motley crew of rogues and mavericks, the top-secret combat unit uses unconventional techniques to battle the Nazis and change the course of the war.
This film was Pretty Good.
Pros: The movie is full of drama & action throughout. I like how much creativity is used by our characters do to kill nazis. I enjoyed the characters that been selected for this spy mission. This got Guy Richie’s signature style on to this movie & I was emotionally invested in what’s going on in the movie as well.
Cons: It does feel like getting draggrd out during the course of the movie. Most of the other performances were not up to par as expected. It felt like it was trying too hard to be more like Inglourious Basterds and It also failed to channel some tension.
