Product: The Man Who Never Was (2005)
Rating: 4.0
Not all war movies have to be action adventure films
I have watched "The Man Who Never Was" several times over the years.This movie is a dramatization of a real-life intelligence action - "Operation Mincemeat"There really was a Major William Martin, sort of. As portrayed in the film this name was fictitious, but there really was a person whose body was used in an operation like the one depicted.This film is not for the action/adventure movie buff. There are no explosions, there is no gunplay, no chase scenes...well, sort of.The movie is actually a very reverent telling of an important extremely successful operation. You will like this if you enjoy military history and espionage.4 stars - a solid film worth seeing.
