Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAfter credits: "In 1990, Soviet President Gorbachev admitted that the Soviet Union was responsible for the murders of Polish prisoners of war at Katyn in 1940. No one was ever prosecuted. In 2012, declassified documents proved that the U.S. government suppressed information that attested to Soviet guilt. No British government has ever publicly charged the Soviet Union with responsibility for the Katyn Massacre. This film is dedicated to the 22,000 Polish prisoners of war murdered in the Katyn Massacre and to those murdered in the years that followed so that the truth would remain buried forever."
- GoofsBetween 00:07:37 and 00:07:49 a male and female soldier can be seen exchanging documents and talking.
The male soldier quite clearly has three white stripes on his right arm indicating he is a Sergeant (Sgt).
The female soldier quite clearly has one strip on her left arm indicating she is a Lance Corporal (L/Cpl)
Both Sgt's and L/Cpl's are Non Commissioned Officer (NCO) ranks in the British Army.
Before parting ways the Male soldier salutes the female soldier and the female soldier returns the salute.
This is not accurate. Only commissioned Officers are saluted in the British Army.
Featured review
Not a Thriller
I know this film is labeled a thriller. Even the director called it that in an interview. But it's not. It should have been. The true story upon which the film is based has plenty of intrigue and is rich for story-telling. It's just this film misses the mark. It was intended to be a thriller but fails - in pacing, in music (sets the wrong pace entirely!), in some of the acting. It comes off more as a depressing drama. I love Alex Pettyfer but his character shows little emotion the entire film, except one scene with his brother. His character is way too dialed down. He doesn't come across as ambitious as described, just terribly unhappy and depressed with his life in general. I would have loved to have seen his character fleshed out more. The films pace never changes so there is nothing thrilling in the story telling. It just chugs along like a steady, slow train. It's a very clean film - little to no profanity, no nudity or sex scenes, which is great! I wish more movies today told stories without adding in all of that. And the lighting is a bit off in some scenes, too dark to really see what's going on. It's obvious the film is low budget, but it doesn't look cheap. The cinematography is good. The music terrible - it doesn't add, it just detracts and annoys. Ok film. Could have been so much better.
