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

Well worth watching! Makes me want to go and learn more about this incredible person. You will need a tissue at the ending. You will also need to use your pause button to read the subtitles at the end - they do contain useful information.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

UNBELIEVABLE. Shows what truly goes into war and the darkness that comes with it. The true heroism shown by Gunnar is utterly fasinating.
