"Add it to the list."
What starts off as a fairly gripping World War II thriller, with an impressively mounted opening airborne sequence, slowly unfolds its narrative clues and draws in the viewer before going utterly and enjoyably mad in the second half. Conventions of the target genres are deployed very well, it tells its bizarre story with conviction and real energy, and it certainly does not stint on the violence and gore. Told through the unfolding experience of a young soldier, Jovan Adepo is clearly an actor to watch for the future judging by this committed performance, but the main reason for watching Overlord is to go along for a bonkers but very well presented thrill ride.
