Spies of Warsaw Audience Reviews

Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!
Crwthod A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.
Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.
Ariella Broughton It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
jlthornb51 This is simply an abominable adaptation of the novel. Alan Furst's books are about period atmosphere and capturing the era more than plot. This film fails in the atmosphere category completely. That being said, as a spy film it's okay but it's in no way Alan Furst. The cast is excellent, although the leads have no chemistry. The plot is interesting but drags a bit. The suspense is minimal and the film simply moves from point A to point B. There just isn't much one can say about a mini-series that is not noteworthy in any way. It really is neither boring or engaging. Not terrible for a film but for an adaptation of a specific novel, an awful failure.
camarill I enjoyed that TV-movie. The story was no blockbuster/Bond style (though I like that too) but concerned an interesting moment of History. The acting was good (David Tennant of course!) and the characters plausible. It was also a pleasure to watch again Burn Gorman. Most of them when speaking French had an acceptable accent. Another reviewer complained about costumes, but as said in "La Rumba", if they were dressing our (French) soldiers that bad, it was so they would have less regret dying... I don't know Warsaw so I can't judge on the location views; and I'm not a specialist of History and then don't know if there were any goofs. Yet I noted at least two mistakes: (here be small spoilers) when Mercier is phoning from Paris, the phone booth is in rue Moulin, XXIth arrondissement! Must be the Tardis in disguise, and way in the future, as to now, there's never been more than twenty arrondissements... And when the Rozen leave, the plane wears a French flag but RAF cockades (red inside, blue outside).
AgentFalco I don't write many reviews but felt compelled after finishing watching this last night to warn others. How can such an interesting period of history be made into such an incredibly boring film. I felt no empathy for most of the characters which is ridiculous by the end I just didn't care. There was no chemistry between the two leads played by David Tennant and Janet Montgomery and Janet's character Anna in particular annoyed me and I didn't understand what Jean-Francois saw in her to make him so enamoured of her. At one point when Jean-Francois was in a deep depression because he was separated from his love I thought I was watching Twilight without the fun vampires! The only characters who felt conveyed the sadness of the war and the despair that was felt by so many as Nazi Germany began its move across the world was the old couple Viktor and Malka Rosen beautifully acted by Linda Bassett and Allan Corduner. I would only recommend to die-hard David Tennant fans.
daguchna Some people say that series is boring, cliché and poorly written, but I don't think so. I had a lot of fun watching "Spies of Warsaw". It has everything required to make interesting thing: good cast and quite good script, pretty locations and some action. Not too much, because it's not typical action movie and shouldn't be considered as one of them. Maybe that's why some people were disappointed with that series. Stories about spies, these more realistic ones, aren't so attractive like James Bond movies... It doesn't mean that "Spies of Warsaw" isn't interesting picture, of course. Even when it has weaker moments, good acting of both English and Polish actors (David Tennant! Marcin Dorociński! Mirosław Zbrojewicz!) lets you forget about it.I hope that it's not the last co-production of BBC and TVP. That combination seems to have a lot of potential and it definitely shouldn't be wasted.
