ALLIED


ALLIED:  Brad Pitt and Marion Cotillard star as WWII spies, he (Max)...from Canadian intelligence... she (Marianne)...with.the French Resistance....Thrown together on a dangerous mission, posing as husband and wife, they naturally fall in love.   When the mission is completed, they decide to get married for real and settle down in England.  But all is not idyllic for long.   Sources investigate her past and discover she may not be who she says she is.   In fact, she may be a German spy.  Well, Max sets out to prove his wife's innocence and..... no spoilers, in this review!   If you like those movies of the forties in the style of "Casablanca," this is one you will enjoy.   It keeps you guessing what the outcome will be and the two leads are flawless.  Matthew Goode does a virtual cameo role as an acquaintance of Marianne's that throws another obstacle in Max's quest for the truth.  This Robert Zemeckis film is old-fashioned movie making at it's ultimate best and these two "movie stars" have never shown brighter.
