    First rate action adventure at times nail-biting movie! The amazing part is, this is true! It really happened! I have read various histories of this Allied operation during the Big Show (WWII) but this movie reveals just about all aspects. Well told, well acted. It is enough to make you hate the Nazis and cheer for the Czechs! Pilsner for all!

    Excellent. Too sad did't get good publicity. The world needs to know stories like that. Good cast and actors

    The best comparison I can make is that 'Anthropoid is 'Inglorious Basterds' without its humour or self-awareness. Vacillating between monotonous exposition and the most grotesque and excessive depiction of torture I've seen it quite some time, Anthropoid has an interesting story that would be better written about in a novel or textbook. Instead we get a potentially interesting film changed into a celebration of waging violence regardless of the consequences to the innocent. Go see this if you enjoy celebrating war.

    Terrific story. I've visited the Prague church where the parachutists perished. It still stands today. I highly recommended visiting the church as well as seeing this movie. Acting is also very good.

    do not care about the critic re: the writer of the script ! it was very well acted movie all actors did a fab job..also it is a eye opener for the world to know that other human beings did get killed beside the jews. if there was still a german Nazi on earth he or she should be tortured to know what they did

    It's a great movie. Although it does take time to build, I'm glad I saw it. It's like any other movie I have seen and it's refreshing to see a story line that's not all flash and bangs.

    I didn't know this history about WWII but I'm glad I went to see this movie. I thought the story was well done and the reactions of the actors very realistic. There were times where my heart was racing wondering what was going to happen to all those involved. The ending is sad but also a great tribute to the courage of real people in very difficult times. A movie worth seeing!
