Just when you thought there were no more stories to be told about World War II, "Allied" comes along and surprises you with a new tale of spies, betrayal, love, and mystery. At times, this movie makes these concepts feel brand new. At other times, they feel well worn. This film also did something that is becoming rare in modern-day cinema. It keeps you guessing until the very end. In a world of spoilers and trailers revealing too much, "Allied" kept me on the edge of my seat and puzzled until the very end. Beyond that, the film is beautifully shot, conceived, and focused on love. Of course, you will have to decide if the love you are seeing is for love of country or for the love of your partner.
Be good to each other,
