Title: The Exception
Post by: AVSCraig on April 03, 2019, 12:50:41 PM: I watched this film on Blu-ray last night with friends. Excellent movie - everyone loved it. It's great to see Christopher Plummer - he does a great job as the Kaiser. Lily James is also excellent.

Picture - 9
Sound - 8.5
Movie - 9

This is a clean crisp looking Blu-ray on my projector. Sound was good. Overall, if you like WWII period dramas, this is a good one!

I'm not going to go into the plot - no spoilers to spoil the film - watch it !

I am a fan of interesting WWII flicks. Black Book is another favorite.

Well, just like Red Sparrow, there are other reasons to watch it ( plot etc. ), but I'll take the nudity as a bonus !

WOW......I am so offended by this statement. (now typing the movie title into Redbox and Amazon Prime to see if it's available) ;)

Actually, I had to look her up. I couldn't remember who she is but after looking, I don't think I have seen anything she has played in.

Thanks for reminding me about them.
