Not your typical war movie

Rating: 8/10 (28 May 2007)

It's a movie that will keep you on the edge of your seat - right to the end.
Some of the characters you think are "good" turn out to be bad and at least one whom you think is bad turns out to be good.
If this were a book you would call it a "page turner" reading until early in the morning.
I was also reminded of the fact that in Holland and France there were more than a few traitors who profited by the Nazi occupation.
I originally saw it in our Tower Theater, which specializes in "art" films. Right next door Tower Records was started...
I have just bought the DVD. I was told that it cost $16 Million to make which, given the sets and acting talent (and screen writing) seems unbelievable here. I doubt that this could have been made in Hollywood for less 5x that amount.
Many of our own (spoiled) stars turn down individual salaries more than that.
Paul has created a masterpiece and I am smitten with Carice.
Sebastion Koch also had an excellent performance.
