Aside from Christopher Plummer, The Exception is rather, uh, unexceptional. The problem, as it often is, is Jai Courtney, who's a dud as a German soldier in 1940 assigned to keep an eye on the exiled Kasier (Plummer). There's a romance, there's intrigue, there's a lot of stuff that doesn't add up to much. My review is up at Screen International.
