Résistance

I can't watch such a serious movie with such a bad actor. Make him do comedies or something, not this.

Bon film !

... and above all less Eisenberg. He's just not believable. His fast talking style couldn't more out of place. The rest of the cast is doing a decent job, and it is a story that needs to be told and never forgotten. But this was not the way.

Marceau's life story deserves to be told. His body of work is a precious gift. Sadly, this is a journeyman's effort from Jon Jakubowicz; the script lacks nuance; and, the film falls well short of good cinema. Jesse Eisenberg does a fair job of his dramatic role but he is no mime, and here, that's a shame. Bella Ramsey stands out as Elizabeth. Not worth going out on a cold night to see this plodding tale.

The parts being Clémence Poésy as a Resistance fighter and Matthias Schweighöfer in a bravura performance as Klaus Barbie the Gestapo chief of Lyons. These two are superb and worth the price of admission alone, although that price includes having to put up with the mediocre acting of the rest of the cast, including a completely pointless cameo by Ed Harris as General Patton who is shoehorned in at the beginning for no reason at all. Does Harris really need work this badly?

If he Hallmark channel, Disney, and WWII had a threesome, this movie would be the child. Very weak either with regards to script or acting.

If you don't care about historical facts,then this would be a good film.

This movie plucks at the heart strings. I will have to do some digging on how historically accurate this film was but I feel that Eisenberg did a fantastic job. Don't let the negative reviews deter you from this. The plot was well thought out and all of the cast portrayed their characters very well. I rented this movie from amazon for $7 and I am going to buy the dvd to add to my collection l.
