I thought it was fun, a bit ridiculous, and worth watching. It's a true story told in a very extravagent way with giant muscly men that look way more jacked than any WWII era soldiers I have ever seen in photos. I miss the fun action movies with beautiful settings from ~20ish years ago. This felt like one of those but with 2024 visuals.

There's also a 6-episode TV show that's the exact same premise, only in Africa, also based on real events and a book. "Rogue Heroes", I found it on MGM+ when I subscribed for "From":
https://www.mgmplus.com/series/rogue-heroes
Book: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/253398/rogue-heroes-by-ben-macintyre/
Technically, this movie has a basis in TWO books:

The film is based on just the first two missions from the book, largely I think because the main character in the film (Henry Cavill's character), in real life was killed on the very next mission. :(
The crazy part, the absolutely bonkers part, compared to the film, is that the real life story is presented without a single casualty on either side for those missions. Obviously Guy Ritchie won't let THAT stand and it wouldn't have made a fun movie if no Nazis got killed. :)

Nice! I will check it out since I also subscribed to MGM+ for From.
How good is From, BTW? Heard about it, binged the first season for free then was like "Shut up and take my money!"
I'm one episode behind on season 3 now, catching up tonight.
I am loving it! I wish there was an active community here to discuss theories because I could go on and on. But it is my kind of television and I can't wait to find out what happens next. If Jade and Victor start working together I think they will absolutely figure out what is going on.
