Great war film
This movie seems to have gotten lost at the multiplex this summer in the midst of kid friendly animated stuff and the latest comic book movies, but it happens to be the best war film released this year. Perhaps because the protagonists aren't Americans it got overlooked. A look at a group of Czech partisans during the earlier phase of World War 2 and their attempt to assassinate the leading SS official in the territory. The price of resistance ends up being very high indeed. Shot on film, the blu-ray presents the image impeccably well, and the gun shots ring out with deafening authority on the soundtrack. Definitely a must see.

Good movie about a covert mission gone very bad!
I watched this the other night. I have seen the same story in the form of a documentary. this movie was pretty good (except for the bad mission outcome).
I liked the performances by the main characters, depicting the young age and inexperience of the young men of the time fighting for the survival of their culture and country.
i prefer to watch period, or war-era movies due to extreme human dynamics placed upon all individuals involved. these movies bring out the most human and inhumane, true characteristics we all have.
So, this gift was a very good one, indeed!
