Reviews
"Allies" received a mixed reception from critics and audiences alike. On IMDb, the film holds a rating of 5.1/10, reflecting a divided response. Some reviewers praised the film's strong lead performances, particularly Julian Ovenden's portrayal of a dedicated officer in a suspenseful setting. The chemistry between the lead characters was noted as a highlight, adding depth to the wartime narrative. However, critics from Rotten Tomatoes and other platforms often pointed out the film's pacing issues and occasionally predictable plot developments, which detracted from the overall impact. Common criticisms included the film's reliance on familiar war movie tropes and some underdeveloped supporting characters. Despite these flaws, "Allies" was appreciated for its atmospheric cinematography and attempts to blend romance with espionage elements. Metacritic scores echoed this balanced view, citing the movie as a decent but somewhat forgettable addition to the war genre.
