Am I Missing Something?
... View MoreWhat a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.
... View MoreFun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
... View MoreThis movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
... View MoreAs the German Fascists expand their borders, scorching Europe from end to end, two brave Czechs of the Resistance prepare for a suicide mission to assassinate Reinhard Heydrich, the hideous mastermind behind the "Final Solution". "The Man with the Iron Heart" benefits from a stellar Cast of great perfomances and talented actors such as Rosamund Pike, Jack O'Connell, Jason Clarke, Mia Wasikowska, Noah Jupe and Jack Reynor. The events of the film i don't know how accurate have been translated but their interesting enough and the 3rd act is really well done. Now as far as flaws? i found it a bit weird that none of the actors speak german, the scenes where the guns block were kinda dumb and the sex scenes weren't needed. Overall an interesting and alright biopic. (6.5/10)
... View MoreThis film does have its moments, lots of sex right from the beginning. There is also a harrowing and heart touching scene with the little boy watching his father being tortured by the SS in the Gestapo HQ in Prague. But this was filmed I believe in Hungary and not Prague, so there are technical inaccuracies. 1) The bombs manufactured by Kubis and Gabcik were totally incorrect. Anthropoid got it right 2) The shooting scene with the Mercedes was all wrong. It was supposed to be on a bend, alongside two passing trams. It was actually in a quiet area, not alongside a bustling market place and probably originally chosen for that fact. Although the original site in Liben between Zenklova and V Holesovickach has all changed out of recognition, Anthrapoid found a lot better site in Prague which was nearly identical to the original site in the Liben district in Prague. They used the junction of Chotkova and Badeniho which was ideal. 3) The outside of the Gestapo building was incorrect, the original one is still in Prague and could have been used. Again Anthrapoid correct. 3) The layout of the crypt in St Cyril and St Methodius cathedral was also wrong, and also the outside shots of this cathedral which were horrendous. Again technically Anthropoid or Operation Daybreak were a lot better than this film, but as a biography of Reinhard Heydrich it was OK I liked Himmler especially, and the things he said could really be believed. Spine tinglingly shocking.
... View MoreGreat movie, not only for people who likes history but also for audience who don't interest about that period. First half is some kind of biography and the second half tell us more about Czech soldiers. I think that everyone should see that movie because is shows us that the best scenario writes our life and tell us more about people who live during WW2 and what pushed them to the action which is describe in Kryptonim HHhH
... View MoreI guess I would give this movie 7.5 out of 10. That is subject to a few conditions. First, I like historical drama and I was very disappointed with the movie Anthropoid, which was on the same topic. Second, ther's a slight flaw in the way the movies is divided into two halves. for a while you aren't sure what's happening and not in a good way. What I liked about his that I did not like about Anthropoid? In Anthropoid, i felt little connection to the characters and in this movie, there was an emotional component, even giving some insight into how H himself might have been. I loved that they included the perspective of his wife.I love that they show her giving birth alone while he coldly works. That shows some of the personal cost that is involved in being a mindless killing machine. When the movie transitions form the Heinrich family to the Czech resistance, I love the cinematography, but i would have liked a tiny bit of context. If you know the story, you figure it out one enough, but if you don't know, its disorienting. Another reviewer here complained about the lack of moral context, that is, why these characters fought to hard to do this and what did they achieve. Its true that that is understated, but I like it. They mention it in passing as they debate shutting down the operation. And its implied in the sadness of the end. It was a real sacrifice. maybe an un-thanked sacrifice, maybe a symbolic one. It didn't stop the war and it led to retaliations and suffering. The benefits were not discussed, but as they suggested, it showed the world that there was resistance, that the Nazis were not invincible.
