Six Minutes to Midnight

Summer 1939. Influential families in Nazi Germany have sent their daughters to a finishing school in an English seaside town to learn the language and be ambassadors for a future looking National Socialist. A teacher there sees what is coming and is trying to raise the alarm. But the authorities believe he is the problem.
Not entirely free of cliche, but this is still an enjoyable and sometimes riveting spy thriller. Izzard is great in a rare leading role and Dench is as dependably wonderful as always.
