   Very well made and stylistically satisfying - but wowwww it was dull.
   Also spent the first hour thinking I was listening to two Irish fellas. Need to work on those Czech accents a little...

   I don't understand why they jammed 3 weird romance scenes into this movie that didn't belong at all. Other than that it's pretty powerful and fairly well done 6 years 10 months ago

   Having watched both this and HHhH, I have to say that I prefer this one. Although both films tell the same story, they tell them in a different enough way that they feel like two completely different films.
   
   In HHhH, the film heavily focuses on Heydrich and his beginnings, to his rise, before his fall and the aftermath that proceeded it. While this was interesting, it unfortunately did not leave much room for the resistance characters to grow on me. By the time the end came, I was not heavily affected by their deaths.
   
   In this film, it focuses entirely on the resistance, the assassination of Heydrich and the immediate aftermath. Heydrich himself is only seen briefly, so your attention is completely upon the resistance. I really felt for each character (especially the two leads, who had great chemistry) and the ending was very powerful.
   
   I believe that the retaliation was much more brutal in this film, with the exception of Lidice. In HHhH it was shown in its entirety, but in this film it was quickly mentioned once, and never again. It was a very important thing to show (as Lidice should never be forgotten), so it was a shame that it was reduced to a brief mention here.
   
   Romance-wise...people seem to be upset at the romance depicted in this film, which confuses me as it only took up around 20 minutes...of a 2 hour film. That's it. If it's considered a "Hollywood" film because of that, then they must absolutely hate HHhH. That film was absolutely packed with romance and relationships.
   
   

   Lastly...to the one poster who apparently can't tell any difference between their original Irish accents and their Czech accents: I think you need to work on your hearing a little...
