Thrilller about WWII Nazi occupied Holland

12 November 2016 | by tkrogius (Massachusetts) – See all my reviews

I thought this was a fantastic movie. I was completely engrossed and transported. It does exactly what a movie is supposed to do. I was surprised to see it was made in 2016. It has an older feel. I don't think I have seen a better movie in years. I loved the scenery and the wardrobe as well as the story.

I have seen the other two good Dutch wartime movies, "The Black Book" and "Winter in Wartime," both of which I thought were also very good, but this may be better. "Das Boot" the German submarine movie is also wonderful. Another wonderful production is "Secret Army" which is available on Amazon. It is a BBC drama series about Belgian resistance during WWII made during the 70's with "Upstairs/Downstairs" production values but still very exciting.
