![]() There are some great actors in the film but some of them seem to be overused in other similar roles the same era. I somehow expected it would be more engaging, gritty and revealing than the 1956 film, but it seemed pretty typical and formulaic like many modern British WWII themed films with foiled wartime romances crow-barred in. One of several nods to James Bond was an unfeasibly high-powered buzzsaw watch as a throwaway gag (because of Ian Fleming being a character) was corny and distracting. Also, a triple-agent character giving a hand job to someone just seemed unlikely and out of place. All the time taken up on this tiresome sub-plot would have been better spent on some of the main story. It seemed to unnecessarily labour several male characters fancying Kelly Macdonald's character. It was enjoyable enough but I really wanted to enjoy this more than I did.
