But, you wouldn't initially know it. Not with the chimes and choral whistling that make this initially seem more like a spaghetti-Western remake of "The Guns of Navarone" directed by Quentin Tarantino!
But, it truly is a semi-fictionalized take on an actual WWII mission undertaken by a mixed bag of commandos and spies on behalf of British Prime Minister Winston Churchill. Alas! The cast are mostly unknowns to me. The one exception being Henry Cavill (from the last two Superman flicks plus "Mission Impossible: Fallout) who plays Agent March-Phillips. Under his action-packed leadership, the Good Guys prove victorious.
The photos of the real-life participants in "Operation: Postmaster" and their subsequent post-war lives are a nice added touch.
