Interesting film with intrigue , suspense , action and historical events . This Six Minutes to Midnight(2020) boasts a good cast , such as Eddie Izzard , (Hannibal series) , Carla Juri , James D'Arcy , and veterans as Jim Broadbent and Judi Dench .Based - very loosely - on a true story , it is set in Bexhill-on-Sea in East Sussex, dealing with some powerful families in Nazi Germany have sent their daughters to a finishing school in an English seaside town in South England to learn the language and be influential ambassadors for a future looking National Socialist. UK, Aug. 15, 1939: 17 days before WWII, an English teacher and his camera disappear from a coastal boarding school with 20 German teen girls. Thomas Miller (Eddie Izzard) gets the job six days later, secretly attempting to find out what happened. The school is run by Miss Rocholl (Judi Dench) and Ilse Keller (Carla Juri) . The teacher there sees what is coming and is trying to raise the alarm. But the authorities believe he is the problem. Now, the clock is ticking, while spies passing along secret documents that allow to Nazis get their purports . And an undercover agent goes into action but being relentlessly chased . Britain 1939. Hitler's grip is tightening. No-one can be trusted. And the epilogue tells : "The Augusta-Victoria college for girls, Bexhill-on-Sea, was the first and last school of its kind in Britain. It opened in 1932 and was closed in the summer of 1939."
Based on Incredible true events in which both countries on the brink of war , as Germany is about to invade Poland , and subsequent war against England to take place , before long, British agents and undercover German spies enter the picture, and no one is safe , an undercover agent gets a job , but strange behaviours raise suspicions among colleagues. Something with a bit of substance and intellect for a change, containing suspense , intrigue , twists and turns .Although "inspired by a true story" it is very far from the truth and unbelievably no boorish profanities. These are usually extremely well made movies with adequate production values, nicely acted and shot but they also play fast and loose with the actual facts as to make them more agreeable to the audience. This genre is very popular, especially in the UK, as they are good award bait and popular with the spectators . However as a fictional war-era espionage drama it works pretty well. The tale was really engaging and amazing , and as far as I'm concerned well filmed . It's a compelling flick , motivating and morally empathetic , however partially unfaithful it is to the events that inspired it. The main characters feature Eddie Izzard as a suspect teacher , James D'Arcy as a police Inspector , and Judi Dench as elderly principal who excels in her role, all of them giving stunning interpretations. It results to be a new reunion between Eddie Izzard and Dench after their collaboration in films as Queen Victoria , and Abdul
This really interesting and different motion picture was professionally directed by Andy Goddard . He's a good filmmaker , an ordinary director of TV episodes from popular series as Luke Cage , The Level , Luke Cage, Downton Abbey , Twisted Tales, Taggart, Casualty Dracula , Law and Order : London, Torchwood , Dr. Who, Outcasts , Murphy's Law, The Punisher. And occassionally shooting for cinema , such as : A Kind of Murder, Set fire to stars and Six minutes to Midnight .Rating : 6.5/10. I have been into this movie from start to finish. Something you never thought about during the war really insightful and worth the watch. Loved it!.
