Anthropoid
Anthropoidis based on the extraordinary true story of 'Operation Anthropoid,' the code name for the Czechoslovakian operatives’ mission to assassinate SS officer Reinhard Heydrich. Heydrich, the main architect behind the Final Solution, was the Reich’s third in command behind Hitler and Himmler and the leader of Nazi forces in Czechoslovakia. The film follows two soldiers from the Czechoslovakian army-in-exile, Josef Gabčík (Cillian Murphy) and Jan Kubiš (Jamie Dornan), who are parachuted into their occupied homeland in December 1941. With limited intelligence and little equipment in a city under lockdown, they must find a way to assassinate Heydrich, an operation that would change the face of Europe forever.

- Nicknamed "The Butcher of Prague"
- Appointed by Adolf Hitler to act as Protector of Bohemia and Moravia, what is now Czech Republic

Product Description

Also starring Toby Jones (Infamous), Anthropoid is an intense, thought-provoking thriller.

The international cast brings heart and soul to this film. Cillian Murphy and Jamie Dornan head the team of actors that includes many Czech actors. The setting, scenery, costumes and detail take us back to the dark and terrifying days of Prague in 1942. A group of Czech resistance fighters are enlisted to assassinate the head of the Nazi regime in Czechoslovakia. Brutal Reinhard Heydrich is Hitler's third in command and one of the main creators of Hitler's "Final Solution."
Our freedom fighters enlist the help of brave local citizens and embark on an impossible mission that can only lead to disaster. It is truly a remarkable tale of dedication and bravery that deserves to be told. Although ANTHROPOID can be slow moving at times, it is visually stunning as it takes us back to a terrifying era in history. There is the lead up to the assassination attempt and the daring effort to escape Prague and certain death at the hands of the Nazi's.
Although the story is fascinating, the writer could have given more background information on these heroes who must have known the mass executions that would have occurred in retaliation for the assassination attempt. I'm leaving it up to the viewer to find out if the attempt fails or succeeds. I'm still overwhelmed by the remarkable detail of this film from location to clothing to just about everything.
Be sure to watch the extra feature on the Making of ANTHROPOID to learn more about the filming and the effort to be a true to the era as possible. I enjoyed the film despite its flaws. It could have been more fast paced but the overall beauty of the details and the wonderful actors and the tribute to real heroes makes ATHROPOID a must see to anyone interested in WWII history.
Cillian Murphy and Jamie Dornan are great in it, and the movie is sad, sobering, and thought provoking. Highly recommend for those interested in war movies and history, specifically the second world war.
5 Stars
This is my first 5-star rating I've ever given to a movie watched on Amazon Prime (and I watch a lot of them).
WOW. WOW. WOW. When this movie ended, man, dang. I mean it set with me for awhile. It was so gripping and emotional. Long time since I've watched a movie that had that kind of residual impact. It was just so intense. Especially the way it all ends (I mean the movie that is)... Man...
I almost don't want to say too much and dilute this review with all my comments on the various aspects of the film and such. Suffice to say it delivers on all fronts: storyline, acting, script, production values, action-scenes, there isn't anything that wasn't done well in this film in my opinion... and perhaps even more importantly, if something wasn't done well I just plain didn't notice because I was too on the edge of my seat and totally immersed in suspense along for the ride. I very much felt like I was alongside the characters with them in their situation in the film.
What a powerful film. What a movie. Man, this is worth the watch for sure. And could/should be destined to be a classic in the genre of war-films, and most certainly amongst WWII films. This is a hidden gem, if this came out to theaters I didn't know about it, but it most certainly should have!
Not to mention, what an inspiring testament to the tenacity, bravery and courage and will of the human spirit. It's almost unbelievable to think this was all real and these people really underwent these circumstances and chose the actions they did! What a shining example of true courage and willing to stand up to evil!
Also, I don't know much about history, so this was unintentionally educational and informative. A major event/plot in the course of the WWII drama that I now have some knowledge/awareness about.
This is more than worth the watch, but just be prepared to be engaged very intensely!
Also, sidenote: there is one scene of torture... it was brutal to watch so FYI if you got kiddos or a light stomach. I had to turn away, I couldn't take it.
Respectably acted by all it's worth a watch if you do not know the history of it.

Was will man noch...?
Ich bin sehr zufrieden...
Película entretenida y al tiempo te muestra una parte de la historia y las barbaridades de las que eran capaces algunas personas.
Por el precio que tuvo (no llegó a 5 € el DVD) es totalmente recomendable.
Le réalisateur SEAN ELLIS a préféré nous parler plutôt de la résistance tchèque qui jusqu'à présent au cinéma et à ma connaissance n'avait jamais encore été évoquée. Le bonus très complet du making of nous conforte d'ailleurs dans cette idée et comment celui ci a perçu cette histoire authentique dont il a écrit le scénario.
Bien sûr, nous savons comment s'est terminé ce drame mais, il était intéressant de voir comment il allait être traité. On y découvre une reconstitution hallucinante de PRAGUE sous la botte du joug nazi. Le bonus nous permet de voir que l'église où se déroule toutes les scènes finales a été parfaitement reconstituée pour coller au plus près de la vérité historique.
Le casting nous permet de voir une nouvelle fois ce grand acteur qu'est CILLIAN MURPHY, vu récemment dans DUNKERQUE et précédemment dans la trilogie de NOLAN sur BATMAN.
ANTHROPOID peut déjà être donc considéré comme un classique instantané du film de guerre dans ce que celle ci avait de plus pathétique ( je pense notamment à la scène insoutenable où le gamin violoniste se fait torturer par les nazis ).
