With all the nonsensical and puerile movies coming out of Hollywood I rely on the Europeans to provide a steady supply of high standard and interesting productions and nobody does it better than the Norwegians.
I didn't know anything about wartime Narvik but, as a bonus for viewing it, this movie is an open invitation to the viewer to go look it up and discover what actually happened there during WW2 and it is a truly shocking but fascinating story.
The movie itself never lets up in its intensity. Never a dull moment I was thoroughly engaged right up to the last frame.
Now that I know the true story of Narvik I could nitpick but, in doing so, it would not detract one iota from the fact that this was a film that I would highly recommend.
Excellent acting, cinematography and music.
Dubbed dialogue, to me, is unreal so I always watch such features with subtitles..
