Format: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!!

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).

One word for this film 'Brilliant' . This is one of the best films about the females in the French Resistance that I have seen. I must admit when it was subtitles I thought 'Oh no' as I hate subtitled films but after watching it it was so good that I never even noticed. I felt that beacause it was in the spoken language of the character it gave it much more depth and as someone has previously pointed out it probably would not of been so good if it were in English. The acting is first class and watching it makes you realise how brave and selfless the real agents were and what an important part these brave people played in WW2. I cannot fault this film. It is a long film but worth it. If you love anything to do with the Resistance as I do you will love this film.
