Message: [QUOTE="HuskyHawk, post: 4844812, member: 1414"] [B]The Exception[/B]. Stars Lily James as Miete, Jai Courtney as Maj Brandt and Christopher Plummer as Kaiser Wilhlem II. It's a fictionalized history and part "thriller" and part romance set in 1940. The Kaiser is in exile in Holland. Miete is a maid in the manor where he resides. Brandt is sent from Berlin with some soldiers to provide security. This is possible, because the Germans had just invaded Holland and Belgium. Plummer is fantastic, eccentric and really pulls off what would be one of the last European monarchs, longing for restoration. Lilly James is very appealing in this (there's nudity from her and Jai Courtney for anyone sensitive to that). The romance is perhaps not developed properly but I think it works in the context of the story. This isn't fast paced but we liked it. [/QUOTE]
