The movie functions as an acceptable reimagining of the 1975 film "Operation Daybreak," recounting the events surrounding Reinhard Heydrich's assassination, a figure who was undeniably horrific and responsible for many Nazi extermination policies, reporting only to Himmler and Hitler. “Kubis” (Jamie Dornan) and “Gabcik” (Cillian Murphy) are dispatched by the government in exile located in London with the task of eliminating this man, who seemed surprisingly vulnerable, but their presence creates significant worry within the local resistance movement. They have a very real concern about what repercussions an attempt on Heydrich’s life would bring to the people living there; entire communities could be destroyed and widespread killings are almost guaranteed. The central question becomes whether this action goes too far or if it's simply the statement they need to make to demonstrate that they haven't succumbed to SS control. It’s a carefully made, though somewhat deliberate, telling of this story about bravery, but I didn’t find myself fully convinced by the performances of the two main actors. They are passable, but the feeling of danger isn’t as strong or present as it was in the earlier film from the 1970s. The outcome is already known through historical records, limiting Sean Ellis' ability to take creative risks, yet he utilizes a capable supporting ensemble to portray the resolve of a people who understand that even more – and greater – sacrifices are necessary if they hope to reclaim their liberty. The visuals are impressive, with meticulous attention to detail and beautiful Prague scenery, but it felt somewhat detached for my taste. It’s worth seeing, but it doesn't quite reach greatness.
