From today's perspective, it is an average film that, in my opinion, wants to show Canaris in a better light than would correspond to his actual motives and actions. After all, not enough time had passed since the end of the war, and the creators did not maintain the necessary distance. They were also fulfilling a societal task, which was to diminish German responsibility for World War II and to show resistance against Hitler and Nazism. Overall impression: 55%.
