Shining Through
i remember watching this is a kid and remembered a few details but haven't been able to figure out whet the movie was for years, i was so excited to finally figure it out but damn this was bad, linda is the actual worst spy i could imagine, the spy kids would probably be less obvious than her, the prosthetics for her older self are awful and her young voice threw me off, she never would have gotten that job in the first place and it's even less believable that she would be allowed to take on the role of a spy with no experience (watching movies ≠ experience), she had ZERO chemistry with ed, even i can tell her german accent sounds american there's no way she sounded like a "berlin butcher's wife", would it not have been an issue that she was clearly not german with her american accent? and if all the english being spoken was actually german then why did they speak real german occasionally?, no high ranking nazi officer would hire someone that easily with no security checks and especially not just because they want to fuck them, the fake neck injury is the dumbest thing in the world, if linda put the microfilm in the phone booth then how fid she have it in her hand? margrete could have grabbed it but they never showed linda taking it back, the shooting scene was ao damn corny and they both would have been dead, this was genuinely just so bad
