Shocking
7 November 2014 | by (United Kingdom) – See all my reviews

Allies was a real shock! I'm a verging on obsessive war movie fan so when I stumbled across Allies it was a no brainer for me; but I scored an amazing result in that not only had my girlfriend heard of it BEFORE me, she also actually wanted to watch it!! I couldn't believe it! Turns out Matt Willis is in the movie and my Mrs is crazy for his band. This led me on to investigating Allies and it turns out the lead is from Downton Abbey, the McBusted bassist plays the sniper and it's also got ex footballer Frank Leboeuf in the film. This ladies and gents, leads me on to the shock part. Allies is SPECTACULAR!! It has no right to be any good, but somehow it just grips you, both my girlfriend and I cried! The film passes you by in the blink of an eye it moves so fast, the acting is flawless, Matt Willis is responsible for our tears (don't want to say much more about that) and the tension is unbearable. You're never more than a few minutes away from action and I honestly couldn't predict how it was going to end or who was going to survive (very refreshing). Highly recommend this little gem of a movie.
