Axis Sally

A great movie about a real event from rich and experienced actors like Al Pacino, Carsten Norgaard and Meadow Williams... I recommend you to watch.

Disappointing handling of an interesting case. Poorly written, badly paced and wooden acting doom this movie. Even Pacino can't save this one from the trash heap. Avoid.

I only bothered to watch the movie from a historic interest and because of Al Pacino. Meadow Williams is for the most part unconvincing in the part while Pacino acts as if a gun was held to his head to play the role. (Pun intended.) The story is an interesting one and has a lot to say about individual accountability in a time of war and freedom of speech, and a remake with a better script and actors better suited to the parts could even make this Academy Award material.

Movie review from Reel Tunez: The Radio Show All About the Movies

A historical movie about an American who went to Germany prior to WWII and became the "Tokyo Rose" voice against the Americans. In real life, this woman (whose real name was Mildred Gillars) spoke against the country, the president, and tried to hurt the morale of the American GI's. After the war, she was caught and tried. I'll go no farther in case you want to see this movie and not have any spoiler here. Notable in this movie is Al Pacino who acts as her defense attorney. His acting was incredible!

The movie is worth seeing, and knowing it's based on an actual person and actual events makes it more interesting. The pace of the movie isn't fast.. so don't expect that. An interesting story and very good acting! Plenty of historical inaccuracies (attention to detail) in uniforms and aspects related to both Germany and radio of that time period. Much of what you see appears to be fairly low budget, but the acting of Pacino really carries this movie (or at least it did for me).

The movie carries a fairly high viewer rating of a 7.0 on IMDB as I write this, but that feels overly generous. I'd give it about a 6.0 rating. It's not bad, but certainly NOT a 7 out of 10.

I was thinking between 5/10 or 6/10 because it seems 6 is too much for it but WHAT a good preference by Al Pacino , sure until this he is totally able to nail every part he gets in his comfort zone, Like Hoffa in The Irishman 2019 , I hope he keeps going with those kinds of characters even if the movies they are in are not so great , watchable.
