Fascinating
By Paul Latham from London, United Kingdom , 17 Oct 2007[Highly rated reviewer]
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.- Was this review helpful to you?

(332)Forged in the fires of history.
By Loopgrinder (119 reviews) , 20 May 2013A dark and rather bleak movie that captures the horror of the concentration camps and the ruthlessness of the Nazis in gruesome detail. A brilliant retelling of this true tale of attempted espionage - a genius evil master plan - that was foiled by the downfall of the German army in 1945. The acting is solid throughout and the filmmaking flawless. Well worth a watch.- Was this review helpful to you?

Good film.
By a customer , 21 Apr 2013Amazing true story. Good film. Well worth watching (we must never forget) and found the sub titles fine. I thought it captured well some of the tensions experienced by the print team in the Camp. (unimaginably cruel)- Was this review helpful to you?

Good movie
By a customer , 02 Apr 2013Great piece of history that shouldn't be forgotten. I feel it tried to build up characters without really building them up if that makes sense but nevertheless a great movie that shouldn't be missed.- Was this review helpful to you?

HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF
By Caitlin888 (6 reviews) , 22 Mar 2013piers de la resistance and the Germans are doing it still - financial espionage as we can see in Cyprus. The British are still counterfeiting their own money and taught the Americans the little trick too meanwhile robbing the people blind!- Was this review helpful to you?

Great movie
By a customer , 10 Feb 2013Great movie. Its a good one to watch, especially if you like world war 2 movies. And its a different story, not the usual storyline you see.- Was this review helpful to you?
