Great topic completely clooneyed

Rating: 3/10 (22 December 2018)

As often happens with good actors they are terrible as directors - this is another example of it. The mission of saving art during the war deserves a tribute and it could have been as powerful as Schindler's List. There is no need to invent anything, just a loving close to documentary retelling of the true story, assuming that your viewers are not dumb, would suffice. However the opportunity was completely wasted and spoiled by this light-hearted and factually wrong collection of feel-good anecdotes which fall apart as a plot. It's a pity that great cast was wasted. It also has a lot of cold war stereotypes written and often even driving the script, which is impossible to imagine in the actual relations between the allies in 1944-1945.
