A PEACH of a MOVIE Monsieur

Rating: 9/10 (24 December 2007)

The best thing about any good classic English war movie is not the realistic portrayal of the situation but the credibility of the fictional world created by it. The current movie is an excellent example of that. JUST CONSIDER THIS- It's war time yet we have a nice little team going into the heartland of Nazi occupation on a mountain top. then we have charming ladies conveniently placed there as moles. On top of that we have some very comic moments when the team members exchange some ingenuous puns.
But this precisely is what makes our movie entertaining. the director doesn't ignore any of these anomalies and by the end of the movie quite convincingly explains each of these absurd looking situations with a tenable theory.
To TOP IT OF WE HAVE A THEATRICAL ENDING WHERE IN AA MOST ELOQUENT WAY Mr. Burton tricks us and the Nazis into his trap. WHAT A STING IN THE TAIL. A least expected twist which makes the movie on of the best ever . At least i haven't seen an old English classic being as thrilling or imaginative. also, Iam a die-hard Clint Eastwood fan.
