Factual error: The jacket blurb and plot synopsis for "Anthropoid" are historically and factually incorrect in stating that Heydrich was "third in command" of Nazi Germany. He was not; there was a chain of Nazi hierarchy above him and any historian of Nazi Germany will verify that. Unfortunately, Rotten Tomatoes perpetuates this inaccuracy by using the same jacket blurb in its own plot summary of the movie.
Anthropoid (2016)
Directed by: Sean Ellis
Starring: Cillian Murphy, Jamie Dornan, Brian Caspe, Karel Hermanek Jr.
Lenka Fafková: We've been fighting the occupation in our own ways.
Marie Kovárníková: You're going to murder Heydrich?
Josef Gabcík: Assassinate... murder implies he had a life worth living.
Lenka Fafková: Marie still thinks war is romantic... there's nothing romantic about it.
