I will not even bother to comment on the story line which could have been a very interesting and well made film if only the script were very interesting and well made. In a ham handed attempt to bring the reality of 1940's society into 2016 by streamlining a lesbian couple into the story line as if it would have been a perfectly normal and accepted situation to have a woman, Pitt's characters sister, in uniform at his wedding pawing all over her lesbian submissive lover, this is while sitting at the same table as the "V" Section Commander who doesn't seem to care that a military officer is engaged in a lesbian sexual encounter while under his command in an intelligence unit which would have required people who had absolutely no "weakness" which could have possibly been compromised. Then later in the film where their roles seem to reverse and she is the one being manhandled by her cellist lover. My complete disillusionment with this film isn't related to the idea that a Lesbian Couple was written into the script, it's how they were written into the script as if they were no longer living their lives in secrecy for the most part, and certainly not in the open within the British Military in 1940's Britain; the very idea is complete nonsense and a complete insult to those who lived alternative lifestyles prior to the societal acceptance of these alternative lifestyles. These people within the LGBT movement had worked decades for acceptance. This idiotic script totally discounts the years and the struggles which were so hard fought by so many. I am not a member of the LGBT community but I can't help but feel incensed by the dismissal of the actual trials which those who were living a Gay lifestyle during WWII. Then there is the lengths which Pitts character goes to in total disregard of his orders and the lives of a number of men behind enemy lines to have people look at his wife's picture; it is simply one of the dumbest story lines I have ever seen played out within a major motion picture that didn't include the launch of space craft full of Well Drilling pros which then land on a Comet headed for New York, and then are successful! That movie however was at least well done, which this wasn't. History is interesting and really doesn't require a "rewrite".

This was the most ridiculous load of crap I have seen in.... well EVER! I'm not going to warn about any "Spoilers" because this thing was totally rotten from the moment this load dropped off the radar and into a toilet near you. All I can say is that the people who actually gave this thing high ratings are either being paid or they saw a different film. I can say one more thing; Denise Richards as an FBI Agent is about as believable as Denise Richards at the controls of a Starship.... don't waste your time unless you are planning a flight in the near future and you want to be aware of something that wouldn't happen in a million years.
