O Soldado que Não Existiu - Reviews

...an exceptionally made and acted war-time spy film.

...was ultimately a brilliant plan that saved thousands of Allied lives, it was also completely ridiculous — and thank God there was just enough space for ridiculous in certain war rooms.

...is watchable enough...

... a gift to storytellers. It’s a minor but significant chapter of World War II that would seem far-fetched if it wasn’t, in fact, actual history...

På det hela taget är Operation Mincemeat en gemytlig, lärorik filmupplevelse med starka förhöjande prestationer från rollinnehavarna.

...en sjov og fascinerende spionfilm om de virkelige begivenheder, der skabte et af de største bluffnumre i moderne krigshistorie.

...en elementært spændende historie om snyd og bedrag og skøre ideer med masser af interessante tvists i historien.

En bisarr men desto mer verklig avledningsplan från brittiska underrättelsetjänsten under andra världskriget skildras i den här sevärda, välspelade dramat.

Helped along by the great cast, with Macfadyen in particular stealing the show, the film moves seamlessly between different genres.
