Excellent British film

Rating: 10/10 (9 February 2009)

Forget all the emotional claptrap about glorifying Nazis's and all that rubbish from people with no historical knowledge of the period; this is a quality British film in essence, and it surprised me nothing I read mentioned this prior to watching it. (not that i read many reviews) An excellent almost exclusively British cast, somewhat let down by Cruise's performance (if for no other reason than he's the only actor not using a British/European accent), but at least Cruise is not continually the sole center of the films attention. Excellent camera-work, music (very subtle) and editing. If you enjoyed Conspiracy and Downfall, you'll love this film.
After watching it, the first thing I asked was "Why on earth did Cruise do this film"?, he just seemed so out of place in it. I couldn't figure it out, mebbe investigating the funding might show why?
