Too much of everything

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

The story of Noor Inayat Khan is not a famous one. In fact, it is one of many incredible WWII stories of bravery. It wouldn't even be a special story, except for the fact who would have thought there was a real life WWII spy who was an Indian (well half-Indian) Muslim woman? THAT in and of itself is incredible. The documentary aspects were good. The parts that were acted out though (because of course they didn't have any footage) were kind of stiff and wooden. But the actress who played Noor Inayat Khan did a fantastic job.

This story of a brave and honorable young girl who wants to help out more for England in WWII. The movie gives a great chronological snippets of her ancestors and their family unit with a spiritual undertone. She is eventually recruited to work with the Special Forces as a wireless operator later reassigned to Paris where she outlives her predecessors by months when many were killed with six weeks.The subtitles are okay but the fine print user any guest appearance narrative is too small. Freshly presented for a fresh take on a WWII espionage.

This movie proves that there are still stories of individual bravery during WWII that are to be discovered. I bet the majority of viewers had never heard of Noor Inayat Khan.Given her relatively short tenure as an undercover agent in occupied France, the length of the movie is quite right. It was also interesting to see her background, which would be unconventional even today.What puzzled me, though, was that no torture has been mentioned. That wondered me, since all accounts agree that German intelligence used to be very inventive in extracting information from POWs. Also, the transport to Germany seemed to be very comfortable in comparison to reports of people being crammed like cattle in wagons without food or water.Either way, this is a highly interesting story.
