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.

Yes this was great and it’s true - suspenseful, but intriguingly contemplative and wonderful in the lesson it teaches. The Nazis were bad and had to be dealt with. And the second message is Go Woke Get Dead!
