Review – Anthropoid

Unlike the propaganda version made during the war, this story of the assassination of Reinhard Heydrich takes a grimly realistic approach to the subject. Thus it does a solid job of portraying the human cost of the plot, not only to the men who carried it out but also to the Czechs who were tortured and murdered in the wake of the butcher’s death. Cheerful viewing this isn’t, but it’s a good piece of history-based filmmaking. Worth seeing
