The film follows two soldiers from the Czechoslovakian army-in-exile, Josef Gabcik (Cillian Murphy) and Jan Kubis (Jamie Dornan), who are parachuted into their occupied homeland in December 1941. With limited intelligence and little equipment in a city under lockdown, they must find a way to assassinate Heydrich, an operation that would change the face of Europe forever.

Get over it already, this is at the point of fanaticism. I'm so sick and tired of this whole "Poor Jews" narrative, how long will they keep boo hooing the distant past? I guess they need to brainwash more sympathizers so they can manipulate the world with more "Antisemitism" browbeating.

Tried too hard to be what it wanted to be: a fierce epic WWII war story. Lacks heart and feeling of genuineness. I like the 2 lead actors in other films, but didn't feel the chemistry between them. An expensive-looking failure.

It was a great story and a good movie, but the climax occurred half way through, so the last hour or hour and a half was not as enjoyable. If they had made the climax only 15 minutes before the end of the film then this would've been a 5 star movie.
