Main interest is the film being based on a true story, which should be publicised as I for one was not aware of it before watching the movie
However the film itself moves along slowly and you have no affinity with any of the characters. Colin Firth goes through the motions playing a role he can do in his sleep, and is out acted big time by Matthew MacFadyen, and given good support by Kelly MacDonald who as normal brings a presence to whatever scene she is in.
Though sold as a war drama there is hardly any action and the love triangle promoted throughout is barely believable. All in all it's just okay.
