Female Agents (2008)
Sophie Marceau stars in this French language film about female agents in the Special Operations Executive during World War 2. Along with the lead female character's brother a varied group of female agents is sent into Nazi occupied France to rescue a British geologist posing as an injured German soldier in a hospital.
The basic plot is fairly clichéd but the different female characters and how they react to the situations they are put make the film fairly interesting. While I am not sure how realistic the story is it does show chase the different roles that women had as resistance fighters during WW2 and the price they had to pay for fighting for their country as well as consider themes such as collaboration and betrayal.
Overall I think there is just enough about this film to give it a 4/5 as it brings something slightly different to the genre.
