Movie Review: ALLIED


In 1942, a Canadian intelligence officer (Brad Pitt) in North Africa encounters a female French Resistance fighter (Marion Cotillard) on a deadly mission behind enemy lines. They join forces, disguised as husband and wife, but after spending precious time together, both realize that their fictitious roles might just be a truth for the both of them.

When Robert Zemeckis makes a film I am sure to be there, he has graced the silver screen for four decades with quality pictures for worldwide audiences, always maintaining a romantic sensibility without ever loosing a masterful sense of filmmaking and storytelling. Allied is once again a solid, well told story that reaches for all audiences out there.

Movie Review: ALLIED


Allied is the latest film from acclaimed director Robert Zemeckis. The film follows the story of two spies during World War II who meet, fall in love, and get married before some revelation or rumor bubbles to the surface and drives the primary mystery plot forward. The film stars Brad Pitt, Marion Cotillard, Jared Harris, Simon McBurney, and Lizzy Caplan. Overall, this film struck me as a pretty basic storyline that didn’t get me overly invested but was executed extremely well.
