Horrible film.

Rating: 4/10 (8 June 2008)

This cliché riddled film was so predictable I only watched it to the end to see how bad it could become. Did anyones else feel the propaganda? When you know that the man character is shown a decade after the story line how dramatic are the life and death situations she finds herself? How many coincidences can you introduce into a plot line, apparently quite a few. Too many of the characters seem to be weak caricatures. Would a Jew who had had everyone she knew killed by the Nazis fall in love with one? I love it when the they use the old "All we need to sneak into the enemy's headquarters are floor plans, a set of their uniforms, and someone to leave an unattended door unlocked. I did not find the Canadian Col.'s submission to the demands of the SS general/POW at the end believable at all. I love it when the bad guys put off the execution until the next day instead of just killing them on the spot. Did the Nazis always follow the rules of execution so strictly? Who would have known? By the way, chocolate and insulin don't work that way. And why not put the main Nazi hero in the correct uniform? Wasn't it amazing that both sides always seemed to know about plans of the other side? I like nudity as well as the next person but didn't the director seem to be a bit pandering? How do you figure they decide when to have another nude scene in a movie like this? What was the reason for making the Dutch farmer so mean to the main character he was risking his life and his family to hide. That was pointless. I hate the "old hero having to evade the bad guys on the train" plot line. Been there done that. Did anyone notice the hero attempting to escape the perusers by running upstairs in a two story house bit? How about the missing microphone cable about one minute into the movie. Watch how they deal with the cable when the bus speeds off. Amazing how you find a treasure trove of jewelry and the very item that your father had given you conveniently appears on the top of the pile. Sure women in winter coats and shoes can swim underwater and evade capture by soldiers shooting at close distance. Wow, I was really worried that she would not be able to attach the secret microphone in time as the bad guy telegraphed his entry.I loved how there were lots of people out in the streets only when the war was over, a they were all skipping with flags no less. How smart of the main character to dye her pubic hair but somehow forget to retouch the dark hair roots on her head. Boy what bad packers those Brits were. They just dropped guns and insulin and microphones out of planes with hardly any concern for breakage potential. Did you notice the cheesy part at the end where the Israelis were rushing to the kibbutz fence to defend it from some threat? Very nice.
