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

Hilary A White

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.

This is probably the most enjoyable films I've seen all year. Both actors playing the younger and older version of Gunnar did an incredible job.

This war movie was really good. Sjur Vatne Brean, Magnus Dugdale, Ulrik William Graesli, and the rest of the cast did an excellent job in this movie. This true story about war hero Gunnar Sonsteby was dramatic, heroic, and tragic. It's about fighting for freedom at a high cost. If you haven't seen this movie yet, check it out sometime. It's a must see.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

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.
