Mediocre dramas based on true stories that nobody under the age of 50 will see are the backbone of the uk film industry

The future of the free world at one point rests solely on one man’s ability to jerk off multiple people.
Around halfway through “Operation Mincemeat” — a busy yet somewhat rousing WWII spy thriller based on the English military scheme of the same name — I began to appreciate why this might be John Madden’s best movie since “Shakespeare in Love”: It’s a story about a bunch of British men (and a smattering of British women) who are trying to stage an elaborate show in the face of escalating crises. Except this time, their audience isn’t the Queen of England, a crowd of rowdy peasants, and a pissed-off Colin Firth.

Operation Mincemeat is the movie you put on when you visit your dad during a holiday weekend to avoid any awkward conversations about your personal life.
A mostly harmless movie that offers some exciting moments but is ultimately a glorified History channel movie with a decent Colin Firth and Matthew Macfayden performances.
