Review of Anthropoid (2016) by Royphishooh — 02 Nov 2016
Another modern film spoiled by poor writing. When oh when will directors realise they are not screenwriters? Sean Ellis manages to turn what could have been a gripping story into a turgid melodrama. Heydrich's assassination is largely remembered for the disgusting aftermath where the Germans massacred 15,000 Czechs in Lidice and Ležaky.
That was barely alluded to in the film yet the director spent several minutes depicting the torture of individual resistance fighters. Little surprise that this poor film lost money at the boy office.
