Joanne Laurier World Socialist Web Site The Resistance Banker is made and acted with genuine commitment. Aug 4, 2020 Full Review Robert Roten Laramie Movie Scope 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. Rated: B Mar 7, 2019 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews It's made special by its ability to keep things authentic.

Curtis P 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. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/05/24 Full Review bcowan1943 C A true history excellent but very stressful. Outstanding acting. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/08/24 Full Review Luis M. D I liked this movie. It is sober, intense, dramatic and overall, based on real, historic facts. Definitely it's a must-see period drama. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/03/23 Full Review Nicole F ABSOLUTELTY 💯 AMAZING MOVING 👏 I LOVE HISTORICAL TRUE STORIES REGARDING WORLD WAR II AND THIS JUST ANOTHER THAT I HIGHLY RECOMMEND WATCHING! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/24/23 Full Review Mark S 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. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/05/23 Full Review a.l.jude p History eloborately told and it is really woth. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
