3/4

The director crafts a mostly patriotic picture of a man solely dedicated to duty. It’s an uncompromising approach that often makes for a stirring watch even through a narrow lens.

A modest triumph, low-keyed but consistently effective.

5/5

This biopic about Gunnar Sønsteby, the most highly decorated citizen in Norway, explores the moral grey areas during war under brutal invading forces. Switching between the past and the present, the film sensitively contrasts justice and necessity.

4/5

The sticky morals of this type of warfare are folded in, in a way that adds much substance to an otherwise middle-of-the-road espionage thriller.

I went into it not knowing much besides the short description but my wife and I quite liked it. Interesting too, I hadn't thought much of how Norway was affected by WWII. Good commentary and gets you thinking a bit.

Truly amazing film. So much so that it compelled me to create an account just so I could rate it 5 stars. Unbelievably good.
