Average war time thriller that could have been better.

On paper this could have been a solid, tense action adventure based on a young female Polish spy who bravely goes behind enemy lines to meet up with resistance fighters and the Polish underground.And it's at this first stage where it needed more work- a rewrite. The plot is a confusing muddle , where at one point she's in Budapest, the next London, then flying over to France, then skiing. We had no idea where she was from one location to the next.The poor audio quality of the dialogue didn't help and there were no substitute options available, rendering the heavy European accents tough to understand.Even Malcolm McDowall pops up for a couple of scenes with no real reason, just a collect a pay check as he eases into dotage.The photography is like a video game, there is a fuzzy,unfocused look to the film that looks cheap and 90s Call of Duty that would impress Johnjoe! It certainly didn't look as bad as the Tom Hardy actioned ' Havoc'.Saying all that though this is still a watchable film. I've mentioned before that films about WW2 made by Europeans ( Blood and Gold, Nr 24,Wil) are realistic in there depictions, they have lived it, the towns and villages give off the battle scarred remnants. It's etched on the faces.It also helps that Morgane Polanski (daughter of my favourite film director Roman) is a good lead. It must have helped shape her character being privy to gut wrenching, heartbreaking stories her father told her about being in the thick of real war torn Poland.Some of the action scenes were well done and the feel of occupation scary. I just wish it went through a couple of rewrites.

A fast-paced spy thriller based on true events, set during the Nazi occupation of Poland in WWII. A biographical film about Krystina Skarbek, a brave Polish spy who is hired by the British secret services to infiltrate enemy territory to carry out clandestine missions that could change the course of the war. After an unexpected betrayal, she finds herself trapped in Warsaw and must rely on her wits, courage, and training to survive. In her fight for freedom, Krystyna becomes a silent legend of the European resistance.The film begins in 1942 with Polish spy Krystina Skarbek volunteering to work as a spy for the Directorate of Special Operations during WWII, telling the story of her first and last mission. It's a mediocre war film with excitement, shootouts, betrayals, partisan exploits, and some historical facts about the Polish resistance. The film is acceptable and passable, but not remarkable, since it does not provide the necessary epic air required by the exploits of the freedom fighters, and the war scenes are neither spectacular nor very well shot. The cast is led by Morgana Polanski, daughter of the famous director Roman Polanski and actress Emmanuel Seigner, but this does not result in a good performance, not distributing the required vitality. Alongside them appear some well-known secondary characters such as the British Malcolm McDowell, Steven Waddington, Frederick Schmidt and Polish actors such as Agata Kulesza, Piotr Adamczyk, Gregoire Colin, among others.The film was poorly directed by James Marquand, failing to provide sufficient tension or intrigue. He is the son of the famous and late director Richard Marquand (Return of the Jedi), who has not achieved the success of his illustrious father. James Marquand has directed some films and documentaries, without much success, such as: ¨Dead Man's Cards Between Two Worlds, One Night in Istanbul, Pacific Warriors, Dead Man's Cards¨. ¨The Partisan¨ rating: 5/10 mediocre.Adding more biographical details of the heroine to those already presented in the film, the following is worth mentioning: Also known as Christine Granville, Krystina Skarbek was a Polish agent with the British Special Operations Directorate (SOE) during World War II. She became famous for her daring exploits in intelligence and unconventional warfare missions during the Nazi occupation of Poland and France. Journalist Alistair Horne, who described himself in 2012 as one of the few people still alive who had met Skarbek, described her as "the bravest of the brave." SOE spymaster Vera Atkins described Skarbek as "very brave, very attractive, but a loner and a law unto herself."She became a British agent months before the SOE was founded in July 1940. She was the first female British agent to serve in the field and the longest-serving of all British wartime agents. Her ingenuity and success are credited with influencing the decision to recruit more women as agents in Nazi-occupied countries. In 1941, she began using the alias Christine Granville, a name she legally adopted upon becoming a naturalized British subject in December 1946. The feat Skarbek's most famous act was securing the release of SOE agents Francis Cammaerts and Xan Fielding from a German prison, hours before they were due to be executed. She did this by meeting (at great personal risk) with the Gestapo commander in Digne-les-Bains, France, telling him she was a British agent and persuading him with threats, lies, and a two million franc bribe to release the SOE agents. This event was later dramatized in the final episode of the British television program Wish Me Luck. Skarbek is often described as Britain's "most glamorous spy."She was stabbed to death in 1952 in London by an obsessed and spurned suitor, who was subsequently hanged.

Krystyna Skarbek deserves a great biopic, sadly this isn't it
