9/10
"Real" spies movie

Warning: Spoilers
I enjoyed that TV-movie. The story was no blockbuster/Bond style (though I like that too) but concerned an interesting moment of History. The acting was good (David Tennant of course!) and the characters plausible. It was also a pleasure to watch again Burn Gorman. Most of them when speaking French had an acceptable accent. Another reviewer complained about costumes, but as said in "La Rumba", if they were dressing our (French) soldiers that bad, it was so they would have less regret dying... I don't know Warsaw so I can't judge on the location views; and I'm not a specialist of History and then don't know if there were any goofs. Yet I noted at least two mistakes: (here be small spoilers) when Mercier is phoning from Paris, the phone booth is in rue Moulin, XXIth arrondissement! Must be the Tardis in disguise, and way in the future, as to now, there's never been more than twenty arrondissements... And when the Rozen leave, the plane wears a French flag but RAF cockades (red inside, blue outside).
