Anthropoid

Difficult to understand Slavic accents mar this otherwise gut-wrenching, tension-wielding, well-acted, factually based, 2-hour film based on the Operation Anthropoid story that follows two London-based, exiled Czechoslovakian soldiers Josef Gab?ík (Cillian Murphy) and Jan Kubis (James Dornan) who parachuted into Prague in 1941 with the mission to assassinate Nazi General Reinhard Heydrich (Detlef Bothe), who was Hitler's third in command in the Third Reich and was known as the "Butcher of Prague," with the help of other Czech soldiers (Karel Hermánek Jr., Harry Lloyd, Václav Neuzil, et al.) and underground resistance fighters (Toby Jones, Charlotte Le Boon, Anna Geislerová, Alena Mihulová, Sean Mahon, Pavel Reznícek, Marcin Dorocinski, Jan Hájek, Bill Milner, et al.).
