- TriviaThe film is reported to have become the most visited film of 2018 and was nominated for eleven Golden Calves, the first time a film received so many nominations for the award. It won four Golden Calves, among them the prize for Best Film and Best Actor. The film was also selected as the Dutch entry for the Best Foreign Language Film category at the 91st Academy Awards.
- GoofsAn important episode in the story of Walraven van Hall is his narrow escape at the barbershop, one of his many escapes. He had a meeting with a resistance fighter in the house located above the barbershop. On his way up, Van Hall was stopped by the hairdresser. The hairdresser forced him to have a shave. While he was sitting in the barber's chair, the Germans arrested the other resistance fighter. Van Hall escaped. This scene can be seen in the film, but with a huge shooting, in which a resistance fighter is murdered in cold blood in the street. In reality this never happened.

Very Good Story
Hey folks,
As an American and unable to speak any language other than English, I rarely watch any foreign films. The story itself did seem interesting, and when I found the film on Netflix was in English and included subtitles, I thought I would at least give it ten minutes or so to see if I would find it worth watching.
While I knew none of the actors or others who produced this film, I did find the story to be quite captivating even though I did not understand the banking mechanics involved in financing the resistance. The acting was very good in my opinion, and I found I was able to navigate the story well enough with the English speech and subtitles.
If one is expecting an action-adventure film, one would be better off skipping this film. On the other hand, if one can appreciate a well paced film that tells a very good story, then this film does that quite well. I have always loved a good story.
Best wishes, Dave Wile
