A fantasy of WW2

Allied (2016)

Directed by Robert Zemeckis this film stars Brad Pitt, Marion Cotillard and Jared Harris. A Canadian officer dropped into North Africa falls in love with the French agent posing as his wife.

Attempting to construct a thriller this film is never bad but always somewhat of a disappointment in never fulfilling it's potential. The plot never really feels in the balance and the version of WW2 we see on screen is some what of a dreamy unreal version. For all the talent involved this is a surprisingly damp effort that wishes it was Casablanca (1942) but never gets close.


3/5
