If you are looking for a good movie about the french resistance in France during WW2 then this one is for you. Action all the way with a super cast of heroines (which makes a change). Loved this film, even the ending.

ONE OF MY TOP FIVE FILMS. MOVING, EXCITING, BEAUTIFULLY ACTED AND DIRECTED.I FIRST SAW THIS FILM SEVERAL YEARS AGO IT HAD ME GRIPPED FROM THE FIRST TO THE LAST FRAME. I HAVE REVISITED THIS FILM SEVERAL TIMES AND WILL AGAIN AND AGAIN NOW THAT IT IS IN MY FILM COLLECTION.SUPERB!!!
Thrilling French wartime adventure about a group of women agents being sent to France to rescue a captured English spy - and assassinate a top German officer. A tall order but one executed with great aplomb - and lots of bullets. Cast includes Sophie Marceau, Julie Depardieu, Marie Gillain and rising young French star Deborah Francois.
Fantastic film, best yet, it is up there with the pianist and schindlers list. Its probably better if you speak french but you soon forget that you are reading the subtitles. Highly recommended and unforgettable true story.
