Some may feel like "not another WW2/Nazi story". But I hope you are not one of those. Or if you are, I kind of feel the movie might even sway you. Don't hold me to that as a promise though. Tastes are different after all. The acting is really something and the story (based on reality obviously with notes in the credits about real life as with most movies) is really gripping.

You may feel that some of the story is heightened and some things feel like coincidences. Now I didn't check all the background so I will not make a judgement on that. But if you can go with the flow and either read up on that later or just plain enjoy this as "entertainment" (maybe history lesson is a better description), then go ahead and do that. There is violence obviously and some really crazy things going on ...

It was amazing how this true story has been told in each detail. This is a great work and respect to all the staff. All the actors delivered solid performance and I want to see them again all in other films. It was never boring and i know now better what really happened at this very important assault to a high Nazi leader. The setting and atmosphere were perfectly created. God bless all the opponents who lost their lives. Don't miss it if you like war history. 8/10

The Allies agreed to the Munich agreement with Hitler who used it to occupy Czechoslovakia. Reinhard Heydrich is the Nazis' third-in-command and considered the main architect of the Final Solution. He takes over the occupation of Czechoslovakia to put down the resistance earning him the name "The Butcher of Prague". Jan Kubis (Jamie Dornan) and Josef Gabcík (Cillian Murphy) returns from London under the orders of the exile government to assassinate Heydrich.

The actors are top shelf. The story is sincere told in a straight-forward manner. Despite the human drama, there are no surprises or exceptional tension. It is relatively flat even with the dire circumstances. There isn't anything bad about it but it needs some imagination to bring out its inherit drama. There is a compelling conflict about the mission within the resistance. In the end, none of it pulls hard enough. It's a well made movie.
