What critics compared Shining Through to
But the stuffy, stilted, lumbering “Allied” earns a place beside David Selzer’s similarly overblown “Shining Through” (1992) among misguided big-budget attempts to go back to the front.
The script - courtesy of screenwriters David Seltzer ("My Giant," "Shining Through") and Brandon Camp & Mike Thompson (making their collective debut) - also manages to include some decent bits of humor that serve as comic relief.
