Saw the movie tonight. I enjoyed it, because I pretty much enjoy anything that relates to WW2, but it is pretty slow most of the way through. I can only assume that they tried to stay as true to actual events as possible, which would explain "near misses" rather than exciting action sequences. If you have any knowledge of the historical events, then even the suspense of those near misses is dulled.

It is elevated by the performances of Oscar Isaac and Ben Kingsley. The way the story unfolds between the two of them is really what is at the heart of this movie.

It is not "Munich (2005)", it is more "Darkest Hour (2017)". If you ok with that, or even better if that appeals to you, then give this movie a watch. It is certainly worthy.

Fuck Nazi's
