Mediocre Film

Rating: 1/10 (10 July 2007)

IMO Blackbook is one of the worst films ever made about a war situation. It looks like a schoolboy-adventure series. but very badly executed ! The props are so badly constructed...it looks very artificial. It's supposed to resemble the Netherlands during WW II..but everything looks soooo clean ....the script...well how bad can it be ? I was watching this film just for the fun of it...before i started out with Blackbook , i supposed it would be bad..but...it was far worse ! one childish scene after another.... and than the acting ..Wow ! that's terrible...Guy's like f.i Peter Blok , Derek de Lint ( so called ) great actors here in the lowlands.. the director made a mess of it....
A Real dutch Paul Verhoeven film : some 'Pasionate '(haha)sex , a few naked tits here & there .., Glen Miller during liberation scenes and yes , another piece of dutch history beiing made visible.... i could not believe that Zwartboek is taken that seriously in the dutch entertainment world.... it's shocking , in a way...
The Dutch nominee for the academy awards....by lack of something better i suppose... Zwartboek was a terribly made film in every aspect but i had a very entertaining time while watching it. Time well-spend after all...'caus what fun i had seeing this 'film'.
