The plot is certainly interesting, even more for quite an important event during the WWII, but the movie doesn't really add anything to the story that cannot be read in a quick glance to the Wikipedia. The cast performs as if they would be robots, with poor dialogues, and the directing feels like if it would be done with a ruler and following a strict method. Not too bad in the latter, but it doesn't feel natural at all.
