What A Great Film.,
By
This review is from: Female Agents [2008] [DVD] (DVD)
Based on a true story, this great film shows that in war, there are plenty of female war heroines, that people often forget about. Set in the Second World War, this film is about four extremely corageous and brave women from different backgrounds, who are employed as spies by an Intelligence and Sabotage Service overseen by Winston Churchill. A good synopsis of the film is detailed above (see Amazon Review), but then again, it does give a bit too much away.
'Female Agents' was subtitled throughout (As most of it is in French or German). I didn't find the subtitles a disadvantage, because the film wouldn't have had the same effect if it had been shown in any other way. I was so glad I went to see this at the cinema, its one of the best films I've seen in ages, and I will definitely be watching it again when it comes out on dvd. It kept me on the edge of my seat throughout, especially towards the end! Highly Recommended!!

Dont worry about subtitles - wholly compelling,

This review is from: Female Agents [Blu-Ray] [Blu-ray] [2008] (Blu-ray)
Based on a true story (how true it is to the original we will have to summise). However its a compelling story from begining to end. I always judge a good dvd / Blu Ray film by whether you are prepared to pause it for a wee break - not a bit of it with this one!!
Not a great war film / espionage type person, but thoroughly enjoyed (although thats not the right word, as its quite sad).
