| User ReviewADALBERTO PI saw this when I was about 4 and the scene in the church basement still makes me cry every damn time.. It's about the failed assassination of Himmler and though I can't seem to find a copy anywhere, the impact of this story will be forever etched in my cranium. |
| User Reviewjoy jA film that is as haunting as it is chilling and shows the value of friendship . If you have a wet Sunday afternoon watch this film. |
| User ReviewTarik MGreat adaptation of the book "Seven men at Daybreak" by Alan Burgess. |
| User ReviewOmar HExcellent depiction of the war mission with good added drama, although it fails to rise above it's television movie feel prevalent throughout. |
| User ReviewKeith Tgood. about 3 czechs who are sent back home by the allied command to take out one of the german high command. don't recall seeing any of the actors in anything else |
| User ReviewAndres GThe 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. |
