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

This is the worst show ever its pacing is unbearably, slow plots aren't fully fleshed out, and the characters are essentially stagnant throughout the entire show. This is honestly terrible and I cannot recommend it.

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.
