To the treees!
I thought I would go into this movie and come out loving it. I am an avid WWII buff, a big time Daniel Craig fan (best Bond since Connery), and the story of rising up against tyranny almost always makes for sound story telling.
But as I sat through this film, which was well written, acted, and shot, I could not shake the feeling that I was watching a rendition of Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves... but with Jews as the merry men, and the Nazis as the Sherif of Nottingham?s band of thugs. I kept waiting for one of the protagonists (with poor dental hygiene) to yell out ?To the trees!? as the Nazi?s made their final push into the forest.
This story just seemed to follow the general layout of Costner?s 90's Hood movie that it felt like some strange dramatic, and I know it fails to judge the movie on it?s own merits.
But if you have never seen Prince of Thieves you will probably enjoy it more then I as you will not be making the same idiotic comparison.
