I highly recommend this movie. It's not just a reminder of the evil of the Nazis, it's also a magnificent tribute to those people who had the courage to do the right thing even at great personal risk. The stark contrast in personalities between the two Van Hall brothers helps drive home just what a difficult time this was, as they both faced execution if they were caught and both were strong in different ways. The story is never heavy handed, but there are not many light moments, either. If you want a film to help you relax and unwind, this might not be the best choice. Otherwise, it's an amazing look at unsung heroes who should be more widely celebrated.

I liked this movie. It is sober, intense, dramatic and overall, based on real, historic facts. Definitely it's a must-see period drama.

I thought it was a very good movie. The emotion was good. Great story. However, I didn't like the "happy go lucky" attitude of the main character on such a dangerous undertaking. I didn't find it believable. The brother on the other hand was quite believable and well a directed. I wonder what I would find if I looked up the hottie history of the main character. Maybe he was that kind of guy. If so, he was very unique.

This is a better than average historical war drama with good performances. This Dutch language film is a well told story worth knowing about little-known heroes of World War II.

Sturdy, engrossing if patience-testing drama about the money game the Dutch played with the Nazis in financing their resistance during World War II.
