"A sickeningly giddy action thriller that looks forward to Straw Dogs, Inglorious Basterds, and Red Dawn." - Jaime N. Christley

Went the day well is great piece of wartime propaganda. Dated but still tense and unexpected a real gem.

Brick-shitting horror (if it had come out a couple of years earlier at the height of the blitz). It still must've been pretty chilling and nowadays it's just a damn good fun thriller! Includes Dame Thora Hird (she of stairlift fame) machine gunning Nazis. They don't make 'em like this anymore!

Chilling premise; seems like a good candidate for a remake.

There's some good suspense moments here, it's a decent war thriller with some horrifying scenes. But the premise is too absurd to tolerate. We never get a sense of why the Germans would go to such elaborate lengths to occupy a tiny village, nor how they all managed such perfect British accents. Gripping stuff, if you can overlook the film's implausibilities.
