Les Femmes De L'Ombre (Female Agents) (2008)

Female Agents is a movie set in Germany in World War 2. The film is based on a true story about female French Resistance members. Louise Desfontaine is the wife of a French soldier who gets killed by the Nazi's as she watches from a far. Watching the murder of her husband inspires her to get back at the German army and fight for her country. She flies to London to find her brother Pierre, who is also a soldier in the army. He tells her that he has a mission to complete and needs her help. They set out to find three women to help save an English geologist and kill the German commander keeping the geologist captive. The geologist has been working on the beaches of Normandy to investigate the fitness of the land for the D-Day landings. If the female agents do not resuce this man in time then the landings are in danger and it is the last chance for Britain to invade Germany.

This action packed movie does tell the tale of Louise Desfontaine well, if sometimes over exagerated, and you get a real adrenaline rush when watching. I really liked this movie as it showed me a different side to the war but at the same time was anything but boring.
