Thought this is generally a good all-round film with some tense, edge-of-seat action based on true events. Some decent acting depicting and honouring these extremely brave women - and men - who fought for the Allied cause in WW2.
Thought it sad, though, that the British advertising is marketing the film under the fairly bland title of 'Female Agents', and has not retained the more thrilling-sounding and intriguing French title of 'Femmes des Ombres', ('Women of the Shadows') - Nice attention to detail of 1944 dress. Recommended viewing for many reasons.
