Allied review- simple spies

A male and female spy get married during the chaos of World War 2.

American director Robert Zemeckis has had a pretty amazing career. He broke onto the scene with 1984s Romancing the Stone and helmed the Back to the Future Trilogy, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Forrest Gump, Contact, Cast Away, The Polar Express and The Walk since.

That’s quite a resume, and also a varied one - which means you never quite know what you’re going to get, to coin a phrase. But Allied is far from a box of chocolates.
