Resistance (2011)
Execrable
I love war-themed films and liked the sound of this one. What a disappointment! I can only echo an earlier reviewer and stress how mid-numbingly slow, boring and seemingly pointless it all is. If you fancy a story that well and truly loses the plot, appreciate a leading lady's woodenly bad acting and enjoy trying to make out what is being mumbled pretentiously in a Welsh accent, this is the film for you. Goodness knows what the woman was saying sometimes - I played back some utterances several times and still didn't have a clue, there being no English sub-title facility, other than when German was spoken. I found myself longing for a bit of German to relieve the strain of mumbled English dialogue.
For 60 years I've had a limitless capacity to lap up any old tosh about the Second World War. This dreadful film has put paid to that.
