Just a romp through French history. Couldn't hear what Joachim Phoenix was mumbling some of the time. For those with no knowledge of history, you wouldn't have a clue as to what was going on or who Napoleon was negotiating with! Battle scenes incredible and very graphic, demonstrating utterly the horrors of war. Disappointing as a whole, very vague from a historical point of view and neither Napoleon nor the Duke of Wellington were able to portray their real strength of character. Or most of the key figures, come to that, if you could work out who they were!

A little bit disappointing. Good acting from cast but such a deviation from the original story. Quite moving though.

It's fantastic! Very clever and convincing story.

We enjoyed it very much but as there was a lot going on in France too, we feel that the tense and frightening scenes in the U-boat lost some of the fear created in the original series. However, excellent acting and amazing creation of the awful time suffered by everyone during the war.

I just found the story rather predictable. Costumes, scenery, acting were excellent.
