Critical Review - Allied

#Allied' Is a World War II Romantic Thriller, the art direction and costume design are brilliantly observed...

I expected this film, based on the trailer, to be a vintage action packed James Bond spy thriller..with a significant emphasis and tension regarding whether the Protagonist's wife was an ally opponent, or an ally. 

To a certain extent this was the case, but the true emphasis was on their relationship, rather than violent, slick combat.

I found the design to be the most compelling and convincing part of the movie, and felt that the final resolution  at the end, was seemingly hurried. A rather swift ending to an otherwise thorough script.
