Operation Mincemeat

Storyline:
In the context of WW2 narratives, the story of Operation Mincemeat is unique
a bizarre and seductive cinematic blend of high-level espionage and ingenious
fiction, where the stakes could hardly be higher. Michelle Ashford's script
fuses multiple strands and moods: tense, romantic, thrilling, unexpectedly
funny, and endlessly surprising. It tells a richly human story of the soldiers
we seldom see, who fight a different kind of war in shadows and deception,
haunted by the knowledge that certainty and guarantee of success are
nowhere to be found.

Cast: Colin Firth, Matthew McFadden, Kelly McDonald, Penelope Wilton

My rating: Good
