Anthropoid (Sean Ellis, 2016)

Based on the true story of the assassination of senior Nazi Reinhard Heydrich in 1942 in Prague by Czech agents, Anthropoid is high on tension and locations and low on unpredictability. A host of British and Irish actors suffer under the weight of their random accents and dramatically flat mission, with a few personality quirks thrown in to give them something to play with until a bloodbath in the church where the killers may well have holed up, but through a perspective that is strictly of the Clint Eastwood in Where Eagles Dare school as far as slaying hordes of zombie-like Wehrmacht goons goes. It may be useful for the ignorant as a lesson that the wartime resistance to the Nazis in occupied countries didn't only consist of the French, but other than that it's a pretty shallow exercise.
