Here Be Dragons

Caught this on Prime and almost couldn't believe this kind of film was still being made, given all the generic sequels, prequels and remakes we are served constantly. Wonderful writing, direction and performances that do a nice job of bringing complex history to life. Paints a faithful (and noir-ish) picture of a complex situation. Doesn't treat you like a moron or pick sides. Expressive characters - great music and cinematography too - solid indie film. Noir fans and fans of detective mysteries set against a backdrop of intense history will enjoy this film. Oh and be warned - you may want to take up smoking after watching!
