A grim wartime political thriller based on the true story of a Reich official assassinated in Czechoslovakia. Based VERY loosely, however, as the events in the movie have little to do with reality. But this is really heavy-handed, black/white, good/evil stuff. The camerawork is sophisticated, the script is not. Still, it's a solid thriller that manages to be sufficiently gripping despite its lengthy running time. Lang pulls off some marvelous shots.

I guess times were rough, you couldn't make a decent anti-Nazi picture back then. A for effort tho.

Excellent film about resistance to the Nazis.

Hard to believe Fritz Lang could make a film so unconvincing and poorly cast.

sadly this movie drags on about an hour and a half too long, leaving only about half an hour of interesting material. it's just plain boring and really does nothing to provide entertainment.
