more Holywood lies

Rating: Null/10 (15 October 2002)

Having watched this film I admit I did enjoy the action sequences, but as someone who has studied the events of WW2 I simply couldn't take my mind off the offence that this would cause to members of the royal navy who are still alive today. America has reason to be proud of many of the events they took part in during the second world war so why steal British thunder? The Enigma machine was captured by the Royal navy months before America entered the war so any kind of factual plot is immediately thrown out of the window. In short if you like a war film based on real life events avoid this one because I'm sure the producers, writers and directer would know a history book if it hit them in the face.
I just hope hollywood doesn't try to take away the battle of Britain and the efforts of the special air service away from us.
