Being French you think it's going to be a lyrical, poetic tale, but (despite the female protagonists) it's more of a boys-own adventure style war movie, with daring escapes, crackerjack timing, resilience and courage (when the operations falls apart and the girls are gradually captured) and wartime daring.
Being French however, there are few happy endings for the attractive cast and it balances a line between thriller and drama well, shying away from full frontal brutality and bloodshed.
