Glimmerubro It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.
WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
Donald Seymour This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
Taha Avalos The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
joshgibbs-35276 This TV series is simply brilliant. The plots are well written with no holes. The setting in the backdrop of WWII adds a dramatic element that makes this series unique. The characters have depth and the production quality is superb. You can't ask for anything more. Such a shame it ended.
mbduffy I just love "Foyle"s War" and all the characters and their actors. I have admired Michael Kitchen's acting for many years.. He can convey more in just a "hmm" or a cocked eyebrow than with a whole lot of dialogue. The only problem I have ever had is the BIG mistake made in the episode with Samantha and her American boyfriend, Joe. As they are walking along and he is recapping his biography, he states that he trained at Fort Benning, Virginia. Wrong! Everyone knows that Fort Benning is located in Georgia. I was so surprised that Mr. Horowitz would make such a glaring error, given his extensive historical references. Being an Englishman is not an acceptable excuse. If you know about Ft. Benning and its extensive training facilities, you should know that it is in Georgia.
sbarchitect Agree with most of what's said; however HM Armed Forces do not salute unless wearing head dress. Several episodes have shown otherwise. I know this protocol: my great grandfather, grandfather, father, uncle, step father, myself and a younger brother all served. Since so much is made of this series's attention to historical detail, this fundamental error is surprising. American programme makers seem to have a much better grasp of US military protocol and etiquette,than British programme makers have of the same for our Armed Forces. Graduates brought up on a diet of US imports and too lazy to find out if there's any differences between either tradition, I suppose. Still, if you're not ex an Armed Forces pedant, like me,and the occasional lapse in veracity doesn't bother you (moustachioed RN officer) then it as good as most people say. Rant over.
Rytis Kareckas I could only watch half of the first episode. I guess I expected something different, but this is a melodrama in the backdrop of WWII. I'm not interested in melodramas and constant crying. The continuity errors (like the wire that killed Mrs. Beaumont is clearly put at the level of horse's feet but cuts her head off) and the level of implausibility and dumb behavior just for the sake of subsequent plot development like how can a middle-aged detective go behind some sheds to arrest a guy he doesn't know anything about and hope he doesn't outrun him or simply beat him up; or, after his daughter is killed during bombing, a father says "If I could just lay my hands on any ONE German", just to add a possible suspect for the sake of it. And the aunt conveniently gets a heart attack as she is taken to a spy prison. If you expect some clever detective work or many intense war scenes, this is not it. This is a melodrama. With all the corresponding clichés.
