Allied (2016)
7/10
Not Epic, But Worthy of Watching!
18 February 2017
The film accompanies the story of Marianne Beausejour and Max Vatan meeting up in Casablanca to kill a German ambassador. After the mission is completed they fall in love and get married, having a daughter but just when everything seems to be right she is believed to be a German spy.

The film lacks a decent script but is compensated on the structure, design, setting and by the performances of Pitt and Cotillard.

I was waiting for a Mr. and Mrs. Smith type of movie but this is certainly different from that. While not epic, the movie is definitely worth watching and maybe forgettable but every time you'll remember it you won't have negative thoughts about it.

The ending was the highlight of this movie. It ended just as it should had ended, giving the film a 'real-life' no way out scenario. Bravo for Pitt, he can still pull it off and he's definitely back! Cotillard as always delivering passionate and devoted performances.

7/10.
