Like playing Frisbee with your dog in the park on Sunday, it's all good fun until the romance kicks in.

I thought all that true story intrigue and real life espionage and secret military strategy involving Churchill and Ian Fleming was exciting but, wow, when they added a fabricated Harlequin romance love triangle, that's when I knew what the film really needed!

Trust me, the Wikipedia article about Operation Mincemeat is far more interesting than this overly-romanticized syrup festival. Tragic, really, because the actual story was so fascinating it didn't need to be helped right into the garbage.

PS This film might pair nicely with At War With Love (In guerra per amore, Italian, 2016), the story of how the American invasion of Sicily eventually led to the spread of the Mafia throughout Italy.

@saint-pauly I doubt that Cosa Nostra ever made it into Calabria which had their own organization that pre-dates the Sicilian one.

@ackerbilk I'd have to watch the film again to remember the details, but the film's distributor says it's "An adventurous and romantic journey that unfolds the complexity of organized crime in its early days." I'm sure you know far more about Mafia history than I, I'm just repeating the film's message.
