Fascinating
Based on the remarkable true story of 'Operation Bernhard' where the Nazis tried to bring down the UK economy by forging the pound, this film is completely gripping and expertly directed.
Note: It has subtitles and is at moments quite gruesome. -

Amazing, Amazing, Amazing
You gotta rent this.
Sounds like a dull chug along War movie. This is soooo far from the film. It is simply brilliant. How Hitler didn't win the War is down to people like depicted in this movie.
The feeling you get from watching it is like a rollercoaster
One of the best films i have seen in 2008 and has been just completely overlooked by the awards panels - but what do they know. -
