Aroview: Substantial, exciting WWII espionage thriller following an all-female commando unit of the French Resistance recruited to rescue a British agent from the Germans in 1944.

Their feminine wiles are put to diverse use in executing a palpably dangerous mission, with Sophie Marceau outstanding as the group's stoic but not invulnerable leader - she embodies the film's sensuality and serious-mindedness in equal measure. No doubt it takes liberties with wartime facts, but this is action/adventure as it should be; well acted, well appointed, and packed with as much emotional tension as action.
