A Call to Spy (2019)
4/10
Unconvincing
28 October 2021
Warning: Spoilers
While the subject matter is an important story that should be told, there are some faults in the production. There seems to be no blackout in force either in London or in France. Cars drive at night with full headlights on. A German officer tells a soldier to " get this flier out", a term that would not have been used by Germans at that time. Also, there are many gaps in the story. The prisoners caught trying to blow an ammunition train escape can with the aid of a Monopoly game, but are not shown how they escaped. Once they escape, they go straight back to their base, the first place the Germans would look for them. There are many other scenes such as these that make the film look like it has cheap production values.
