Some people might skip this movie because it's mostly not in English, as the story is about Dutch resistance and spy operation in WW2. But they shouldn't... you'll really be missing out. Apparently this is inspired by true events. Everything screams big budget and Hollywood, even when it's a Dutch production.
The less you know about the story beforehand the better. But basically it's a clever spy thriller about infiltrating the Nazi headquarters in Haag, in 1944. This movie has no boring moment, no wasted shot, no wasted line of dialogue. Bit of action too. Just when you thought you figured who double-crossed who, there's a new surprise.
The acting is top notch, Carice van Houten is so damn good heroine. Pretty, witty, charismatic, and great in portraying emotions boiling underneath.
All the other parts are well acted too. I've seen this at least 5 times (I love how you can see hints about the plot early on, if you know what to look for), and I don't usually care for movies that aren't English spoken to be honest.
