The director crafts a mostly patriotic picture of a man solely dedicated to duty. It’s an uncompromising approach that often makes for a stirring watch even through a narrow lens.

Rated: 3/4

This biopic about Gunnar Sønsteby, the most highly decorated citizen in Norway, explores the moral grey areas during war under brutal invading forces. Switching between the past and the present, the film sensitively contrasts justice and necessity.

Rated: 5/5

Irish Independent

The sticky morals of this type of warfare are folded in, in a way that adds much substance to an otherwise middle-of-the-road espionage thriller.

Rated: 4/5

Decider

As it presents the effort of one man to retain his value system and apply it to the greater good, it finds lots of ways to illustrate how the battle is always bigger, even if the people fighting it are not larger than life.

Ventures into the past while inevitably and in this case incidentally reflecting on troubling moral alongside military implications - and no less so in the case of Norway's past and conflicted, simultaneous battle of soil and soul present moment in time.

Not an action movie but an intense drama. Great plot, great acting, very well paced and not predictable. Refreshing to see a movie that has soul too it.

What a moving and touching film. Draws you in as the historic story is told first hand. English subtitles but well worth it.

absolutely excellent movie. It touch my heart... Though violent it shows what men & boys go through defending what is right, good & true. My Father jumped on DDAY and won the Bronze & Silver Star.Also jumped in Holland. Part of 82 Airborne! A very humble man who never talked that much of the war. So many men had to kill... & Hated it but loved their country!

A really good crafted film that throwes your feelings in the mix with the cruel reality. A look on how some of the people had to suffer to get to the point where we are today. Overall one of the best movies I have ever seen.
