Christian A @RT42513685 May 20, 2025 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. See more Jan 1, 2024 Remarkable outstanding. A MUST WATCH! See more Es K @Kennedy914 Aug 13, 2023 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!

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.
