My favorite Verhoeven movie

Rating: 10/10 (17 September 2010)

This is one of the most moving movies I have ever seen. It has everything: Suspension, romance, shock and tragedy. The story is told in an amazing speed, and changes in an unusual, but very interesting way, from one genre to another. I rarely saw a movie with so "much" story. 2.5 hours, full of twist, great conversations and amazing action.
Sadly the movie isn't without any flaws. A lot was simply too unbelievable. Historical this movie is not accurate. It isn't even realistic. Especially the last half hour felt odd. Quite a few things made me shake my head. You better understand this movie as a great story, not as realism, not as an historical film.
I gave this movie 10 points - despite its unrealism. Because its one of the most enthralling films I have ever watched.
