One of the best dutch movie after "Black Book". Acting was pretty good. Specially Frank Lammers as Michiel de Ruyter. He is mind-blowing. Michiel de Ruyter, has definitely won a place in my heart. But I feel like something was missing.The movie has a great soundtrack, and beautiful costumes, while using a lot of real locations (which have been made to look period-accurate with a little help of some CGI).
There was some loopholes but the other thing was too good to overlook those. At over two hours long, this is quite an in depth film but one you can easily get drawn into and thoroughly enjoy with its well- paced, action-packed scenes, regardless if you're into historical dramas or not. The stunning cinematography, high quality production, engaging script and spectacular performances in ADMIRAL truly make this film a biopic that would do Michiel de Ruyter proud.
I highly recommend this movie. Happy watching.
