🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs a tense pre-war atmosphere, relying on the classic tropes of a spy thriller with a dash of criminal comedy. It explores the fragile alliance between a cynical hustler and an idealist armored by professionalism.
Those who tire of straightforward narratives will appreciate the intricate plot gears turning towards a clever resolution. What lingers after the credits is the satisfaction of a stylishly directed cat-and-mouse game set against a historical backdrop. — MovieFinder Editorial
