A competent but uneven movie

Rating: 7/10 (28 January 2019)

Directed by George Clooney who also starred and included Matt Damon, John Goodman, and Cate Blanchett, this movie inspired by the World War II allied effort to save invaluable art treasures that the Nazi's had stolen, has trouble with its overall tone. It has very poignant moments especially over the dramatized risk of the soldiers took in saving their valued treasures as well as a sensitive subplot between one male soldier and a French woman. Unlike The Great Escape (1963), this World War II movie doesn't seem to find its balance between comedy and drama in either its direction and musical selection. A competent but uneven movie about an appealing and different perspective of the War.
