Set during WWII, two intelligence officers, Ewan (Colin Firth) and Charles (Matthew MacFadyen) use a corpse and falsified papers to outwit the German troops in a top secret mission codenamed; Operation Mincemeat.

Every now and again a warSet during WWII, two intelligence officers, Ewan (Colin Firth) and Charles (Matthew MacFadyen) use a corpse and falsified papers to outwit the German troops in a top secret mission codenamed; Operation Mincemeat.

Every now and again a war movie comes along that tells the story of a top secret mission that went on over 70 years ago that the general public have no idea even happened. So aside from a few history nuts you’re going to know virtually nothing about Operation Mincemeat. The fact that this was a real mission is almost unbelievable and as a result the film itself feels like a spy movie and a work of fiction. It’s a gripping story with a star studded cast.

I know I give out about my local cinema a lot in my reviews, especially recently but for those of you who know what cinema I’m referring to then you know I’m not exaggerating. Well we got the 4D experience yet again, certain scenes gave an added depth the filmmakers weren’t planning on because as per usual the place was feckin’ baltic. Thanks again Odeon if anything you’re consistent in your lack of caring about the customer. This might have affected my judgement on the film itself slightly, it did feel a little long and dragged out in places, especially one of the subplots may have been unnecessary. But aside from that, Operation Mincemeat is well worth the time to see before it’s gone from cinemas. Highly recommended for all the history nerds.… Expand

This real episode of the Second World War is made according to the formula of the war genre. It is true that at first glance it is not different from what has already been seen, but it holds up most of the time, especially in the second act.

Was it a coincidence that the screenwriter had Ewan profess to Jean his feelings for her were the "opposite" of the indifference she perceived? "Opposite" was the exact word that Elizabeth Bennet said to Mr. Darcy when he asked her if herWas it a coincidence that the screenwriter had Ewan profess to Jean his feelings for her were the "opposite" of the indifference she perceived? "Opposite" was the exact word that Elizabeth Bennet said to Mr. Darcy when he asked her if her prior hostile feelings for him were unchanged as they walked along that lane. Overall, I thought this was a smart, dramatic, well- acted film. Nice to see a film made for adults these days. Great interiors and period mis-en-scene.… Expand
