It is a performances centric movie

Did you people see the same film I saw?

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

The first must-see film of the year.

Movie Review: "Anthropoid" (2016)A hauntingly-surprising World-War-II action thriller with historical sophistication directed by Sean Ellis, who also stops denying to operate a fast-rhythmic-passing Super 16mm film camera by Arri Munich Rentals accompanied with superb-looking Hawk V-lite 16 lenses, when editor Richard Mettler puts an engaging cast surrounding freedom fighters Jan Kubis and Josef Gabcik, here match-making from the very first parachute-descends into push-play atmospheric snowy forest actor Jamie Dornan, known for "Fifty Shades of Grey" performing to utmost anxiety-denying beats of war action, when spy agent partner Cillian Murphy, acknowledged for leading Danny Boyle's horror-thriller "28 Days Later" to international successes, as "Anthropoid" continues with a relentless assassination plot in ultra-focused on trafficking Prague daytime streets action scenes to rebounds with fantastic range-playing actor Toby Jones as needed suspense-adding support into a fully-immersive final rebel-stand-off from bullet-storming hallways of city's center church to floated basement confronting inevitable conclusions of Officer-avenging Nazi-oppressors that puts the 20 minute showdown into the major league of being able to compete with any Hollywood comparable. © 2018 Felix Alexander Dausend (Cinemajesty Entertainments LLC)

I have absolutely no idea why everyone who writes a review about this movie on a website entirely about movies feels the need to go into a history lesson. If you're willing to see a movie about the assassination of Reinhard Heydrich, chances are you know the historical context. Anyways, this is a good movie about a historical event that has not been covered to a great degree with the exception of "Hangmen Also Die!" Worth checking out.

After seeing tons of world war II movies about almost the same major battles Anthropoid brings you another story. An important battle as the third in command after Hitler is being assassinated. He's the highest officer in rank from the Third Reich that died in this war. The story is about the seven brave men that accomplished this task. From the beginning till the bitter end you can follow the agonizing moments those men lived. The story is well directed, from a relatively slow start to a magnificent ending. The cast was perfect for this movie. All actors gave a great performance. To me it's certainly one of the better war movies I've seen in a long time. A great tribute to those heroes that fought the Nazis. Heroes never die.

An absolute masterpiece. I might be a little biased since it's about my native country of Czechoslovakia (Slovakia after split up but i still see the Czechs as full on brothers) but goddamn i was waiting for this movie since before i was born.It even made me cry on like 2 occasions and the only movie that was able to do that before was Hachiko: A dog's story with Richard Gere but common whoever saw that and didn't cry afterwards or at least once during the movie is probably not even human
