Faultyy but still an superbly made & acted movie.

Rating: 9/10 (13 October 2007)

Paul Verhooven has made a Dutch Language film after many years in Hollywood.
This tale of the last months of the German Occupation of Holland & the resistance movement plays like a soap opera,it is very melodramatic, Our heroine has more perils than Pauline ever did.
It is a long film nearly two & one half hours long. Interest is maintained throughout BUT we all have sat through many similar films since the war ended over 50 years ago.
Non-the-less, the superb acting & excellent production values more than makes up for the deficiencies in the story. Be sure you stay & watch the extras on the DVD, They too are great.
