Walking with the Enemy

A powerful retelling of a time in history where standing up for what was right often meant sacrificing your life. The acting was excellent, the lead of which Jonas Armstrong carried off brilliantly. I tried to see this in the theaters but my local theater only showed it for a couple days. By the time I heard it was playing and got there they were no longer playing it. Too bad because we need more movies like this in our theaters. If you haven't watched it, do so. It's a very touching movie about the value of all human life.

The film brought an unknown narrative of Jewish resistance in a country with a checkered history of political alliances to public awareness. The shift from the Jewish being integrated in a liberal way to the unexpected invasion by German troops was shocking. The human interest narratives were compelling, including how the smallest of gestures could turn into disaster or salvation. We saw this on TV, so seamlessness is not easily evaluated. Some of the scenes were big and, i believe, purposefully overwhelming, as one would be if caught in the middle. This film is worth the time, ready to inform us of what we really do not want to know about WWII. Not for the faint of heart.

I loved this movie, loved the story, though the lead was great. I was pleased with the rest of the cast, they were all good, and Ben Kingsley, is always amazing.

I liked learning a bit more about the history of what happened in Hungary and Austria and their relationship with the Natzi's and Russians.

The story was captivating, exciting thought at points seemed to be a bit of a stretch, as if it were too embellished and had gone 'too Hollywood'.

This is a highly polished movie, and while that should not be a criticism, it is allegedly and indie film. Someone or group has highly funded this movie to push it through. It will be in theaters in a few months as it has been scooped up for distribution.

It's not your typical hollocaust, it has a very different story, but be prepared for the usual graphic depiction of the horrors of war.

"Walking with the Enemy," a 2013 historical drama set during World War II, offers a glimpse into a lesser-known chapter of Holocaust history. While the film's intentions are noble, its execution falls short of its potential, resulting in a somewhat middling experience.

The movie's strengths lie in its compelling true story and the earnest performances of its cast. The production design effectively captures the period, immersing viewers in war-torn Hungary. However, the film struggles with pacing issues and occasionally relies on melodramatic elements that detract from its historical gravity.

Despite its flaws, "Walking with the Enemy" succeeds in shedding light on acts of heroism during one of history's darkest periods. The film's 6/10 rating reflects its admirable attempt to tackle complex historical events, even if it doesn't fully realize its ambitious goals.

For viewers interested in World War II narratives and stories of individual courage, "Walking with the Enemy" may prove to be a worthwhile, albeit imperfect, viewing experience.

Walking with the Enemy is a gripping tale of a horrible time in history. This emotionally wrenching movie is a unique re-telling of a real life story. I recommend watching this movie but caution you, if you do watch the film, please make sure you have plenty of Kleenex on hand to wipe away the tears you are sure to shed. This movie was interesting because it reveals the courage it took to impersonate a Nazi in order to save the lives of innocent people. It is sad to think of the heartache people had to live through and the lives that were lost due to demonic acts of inhumanity committed because of hate and a false sense of importance.
