Message: [QUOTE="Fishy, post: 5316882, member: 38"] Operation Mincemeat. (Netflix) On the WWII theme. Darn good movie that somehow makes an outrageous bit of war time spy craft less outrageous that it actually was in real life. (This is also a book recommendation - by Ben Macintyre.) Colin Firth, the British bad guy in The Patriot and the woman who gets murdered last in No Country for Old Men are in it, as are other people. Movie is a slow burn - no action, really. The idea is that the British will find a hobo, create a backstory and then set him adrift off of Spain with fake military plans on his person in hopes that they will make their way to the Germans and help the Allies win the war - I will not spoil it by telling you who wins. Anyway, the real story is more brilliant than the movie, but the movie is well worth the watch so you can hear the story. 3/5 war time Deepsters [/QUOTE]
