Boring. You will want your time wasted returned

Rating: Null/10 (8 May 2014)

Historical movies can be both moving and interesting. This one is neither.
Its a really slow and uneventful version of Oceans 11. A lot of time is used to show each person in the group, yet fail to make them even remotely interesting or compelling.
Cate Blanchett is the only thing of value in this movie. Interesting character, well played and actual show the serious predicament she is in. I would have loved a full feature film with just her character and her story.
Would recommend the movie to my parent perhaps... They are now 70 and movies have to be this slow.- + my mother does like that there are no need to think a lot.... Lack of singing and ballroom dresses might turn her away though. And she would be annoyed that not 90% of the movie showed the antiques.
They even cleaned up the beachhead where the group landed- to make sure the audience, god forbid,- might see the utter horrible situation the actual valiant people, that came to that beach, - had a few days prior.
