The Monuments Men
(2014)
Directed by star
George Clooney this film also features Matt Damon, Bill Murray, Cate
Blanchett and John Goodman. A team of art specialists is brought
together to protect great works of art during the Allied invasion of
Europe in World War 2.
This film is very
loosely based on real events and is the usual Hollywood over emphasis
of American involvement, British and French characters only being
included so there is someone to kill off. There is a certain amount
of charm to this story but at times the “message” is a little
heavy handed. With all the talent involved I expected a little more
and in the end this was a rather pedestrian effort.
2/5
