User Review

Foreign film of the year

Rating: 10/10


Although being a Norwagian WWII film, Max Manus has that international
appeal because it's about something the whole world experienced.

Following Max and his saboteur friends is a real pleasure and a very
realistic depiction of the occupation of Norway. It's the first time i
have seen a Norwagian film of this "epic" quality and i hope we get
more in the future.

If you have seen a lot of WWII movies don't think this will be just
another one. This one gives you a take on the more hidden parts of the
war and follows a small resistance group trying to save their small
country from one of the biggest empires the world has seen.

So in conclusion i would recommend anyone interested in good foreign
films or just good historical films in general.
