Review of Allied (2016) by Yubal M — 14 Jun 2017
If the German Nazis want to kill their own man who resists the Nazi regime, why they would choose a Canadian army person to kill their own man and taking so much troubles and risks to mislead the Canadian assassinator ?? Does not make any sense. Was the Nazi regime afraid of their own CNN or what ?? Or maybe so much afraid of their Human Rights organizations so they required such disguise ?? Just ridiculous !!!! The Nazis who murdered openly so many of their own men, suddenly turn so sensitive about killing 1 man of their own ??
All the great intelligence agencies of the Allies don't have any clue about the above German plot. They don't notice the Nazi spyess is a fake Marianne Beauséjour and that she is misleading their own man in Casablanca. The Allies intelligence don't suspect how a known French resistant against Nazis befools the Germans so easily and becomes so trusted by the Germans. The Allies never heard the real Marianne Beauséjour is dead. The Allies don't have a clue the German ambassador is against the Nazi regime. The British intelligence screws up in checking the spyess background before approving her entrance to England. So, is this a new game of naivety & innocence or what ?? And then what justification they had to blame Max Vatan for marrying a German spyess ?? How could he know what his whole employing agency could not ?? For so many screw ups in such a short time, all the head intelligence officers should have been sacked immediately.
The so brave German spyess who has balls to risk her own life in hostile places, suddenly loses them in a friendly place. She could easily desert and let the British intelligence know all the names of the German spys in England who jeopardize her. She would be pardoned and safeguarded.
First the brave & tough Max Vatan rejects the spyess trials to seduce him. First he tells her to close the lousy buttons of her shirt when she tries to seduce him and explains her why it's not good to have such relationship being in duty. Later he makes a wild sex with her in the car. And finally he asks to marry her. So what the heck happened in between that caused such dedicated, rational and tough agent to flip flop with his personal feelings ?? Did just few smiles of her and her shooting abilities made this whole flip flopping difference ?? What did he see in her which we the audience could not ?? Do the movie makers conceal some top confidential secret about their spying couple ??
Please enlighten us. The war is over, Hitler is dead, the Allies won. So it's time to loosen up.
The setting is usually very good, except in the opening when he parachutes in the desert, which looks like the parachuter and the setting is taken from a computer game.
