One of the moments you know you have become an adult is when you can sit through what is being billed as a film for young adults, the teenage market and find that not only have enjoyed the absolute sense of fun that was intended, but that you can find the sense of the pearls of wisdom dispensed enlightening, rather than sneering at them through misguided eyes.

Revenge is a peculiar dish, one that as the saying goes you must be prepared to dig two graves for, or at least understand that you have to share the plate and all the trimmings that go with it if you want to receive the momentary glimpse of satisfaction that is on offer.

The horrors of World War Two remain indelibly stamped, seared with painful fire of innate memory on Europe’s collective conscious and the world’s shame. There is no escaping the suffering, the revulsion, and history has shown us that if we start to forget what terrible crimes were committed, what possible actions could have been implemented in the name of furthering the Nazi ideology, then as is forever noted, we are in danger of repeating them and going deeper into the minds of evil.
