Featured review
Disappointing account of a real life mission
A British war drama; A story about a band of British commandos assigned to sabotage two Nazi outposts in the Aegean. This film is based on the British military mission Operation Anglo, during World War II, an inspiring tale of a Special Boat Service attempt to disrupt the Luftwaffe from threatening Allied forces in Egypt. However, the film lacks thrills and is a rather predictable men-on-a-mission tale. Danger and action comes without much suspense and the film has a throwaway ending. Dirk Bogarde seems miscast as a leader of a deadly commando unit and the rest of the cast, who perform well, are poorly served by sloppy dialogue. To its credit, the action is convincing and it has some attractive locations and colour and light is richly captured.
