Description

One of the most terrifying and thrilling stories of World War II, Anthropoid follows two soldiers from the Czech army-in-exile, Josef Gabcík (Cillian Murphy) and Jan Kubis (Jamie Dornan), who are parachuted into their occupied homeland in December 1941. With limited intelligence and little equipment in a city locked down under Nazi occupation, they must find a way to assassinate Heydrich, the man many saw as Adolf Hitler's natural successor.

  • Awful

    Dull, boring and depressing. Padded out with excessively long and violent shoot-out scenes. Best avoided if looking for an intelligent drama.

  • Not great

    Operation daybreak was a far better telling of this True story.

  • Could have been better

    Good story poor film They mumble especially the Peaky blinders man - can’t understand a word. No subtitles which it needs. Considering this is a true story, the film fails to deliver it with any suspense.

  • Really good

    If you love war movies, then this is definitely one to watch, for me this is a very moving and emotional film of true heroism , and the courage of the Czech people whose lives where on the edge of unimaginable darkness against the nazi regime .

    Courageous men and women. An audacious plot to assassinate Reinhard Heydrich. Shame about the sound quality, but well worth watching «an amazing true story»

    Very atmospheric film with superb acting only ruined in my opinion by the difficulty I had trying to hear and understand the speech. But nevertheless a very good film and most certainly worth watching.

  • Quality with backing of realism

    I could hear the movie clearly and listening to the fitting sound track behind. Clearly very brave men. It made me think about our world. Thank you.
