  • A must have

    I never knew this had made it’s way on to iTunes, and I’m so glad it has. Although the movie strays from the truth on occasions, It still manages to put across the events and emotions that the book portrays. A very good score also, just a shame it never got released outside of the movie.

  • Where are the subtitles?

    A good dramatisation, set in authentic surroundings. Worth 4 stars for historic importance, but marred by complete absence of English subtitles during the extensive German dialogue involving Reinhard Heydrich. ITunes - please fix this.
