The historical context of the film is skillfully recreated and Singer is a master at raising the bar on tension level. All the main cast disappear into their roles and are almost unrecognizable. At times, the film can be slow and lifeless, though, and doesn't hold the same emotional punch as a similar film, such as, say, "Downfall."
