In the process of my move I managed to sit down for a minute and watch Netflix’s new World War Two drama Operation Mincemeat. I watched with my friend and my step mom, one who doesn’t care much for history and one who really likes WWII, and then me, a big fan of history but somehow never knows enough about WWII. I’ve never heard of this operation so it made this a very fun watch since I didn’t know where it was going. Colin Firth is good here but his character felt very singular and unchanging. Matthew Macfadyen is a good foil to Firth who also doesn’t change much but has so much more opportunity to do so. Kelly Macdonald got a shocking amount to do as a female character in a WWII drama, but of course it’s all romance linked. But I really liked her here and how she worked off of Firth and Macfadyen. Penelope Wilton is a lot of fun here and she really played a big part in this mission. Jason Isaacs is great in his few scenes and it blows me away that Lucasfilm didn’t choose him to play the Grand Inquisitor in live action. But I really liked what Rupert Fiend is doing with him. The idea of using a dead body with fake, highly classified material to trick the Nazi’s is so absurd and I can’t believe a group of people actually thought of it. So much of the plan relies on luck before their ideas can even begin to be used. The art of confusion and subterfuge is absolutely insane, the amount of details that went into the plan, the level of secrecy they had to operate under was mind blowing. The movie is just maybe a little too long. I think it could have been shortened by at least a good ten minutes maybe even fifteen. There was a lot of slowness to it that just felt like they were trying to make it longer. The reason for the name of the mission is discussed very briefly and since I watched this well over a week ago now I can not for the life of me remember why it has such a dumb name. I will say, the trailer made this look to be a little more comedic than it really was with all of the jokes in the movie being used in the trailer. So do expect a much more dramatic movie than the trailer presents to you. In the end, Operation Mincemeat gets a good 8/10 from me. -Tyler.
