The Last Lieutenant (1993)
Member Rating:  
Norweigen director Hans Petter Moland makes his feature-film debut with the war drama Second Lieutenant. In Norway during 1940, Thor Espedal (Espen Skjønberg) retires from the Merchant Marines with hopes of finally spending time with his wife, Anna (Rut Tellefsen). When the Nazi Germany prepares an invasion, he is forced to enlist again as a military leader. Because of his age, he doesn't get on with the other soldiers at first, but he wins them over with his bravery. He takes over for the captain Bjelland (Lars Andreas Larssen), and is joined by socialist Krogh (Bjørn Sundquist). who had previously fought in the Spanish Civil War against the Fascists. The conclusion finds the Resistance fighters ambushing a German station and capturing over 100 soldiers. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, Rovi

It's an interesting period piece on the occupation of Norway in WWII. The movie was fascinating - and I enjoyed hearing the language (english subtitles)

Basically... An elderly army reservist signs up to fight the Germans during the invasion of Norway. Then we get 90 minutes of Norwegians surrendering to the Germans. Oh, and one action scene where they attack a German convoy. They take some prisoners which are released by a pacifist who is forgiven... Then the last of them surrender without a fight. Maybe the Norwegian army was trained by the French?

Stanley G.

A moving if sanitized portrayal of local resistance to the Nazi invasion of Norway in 1940; interesting for its locale and portrait of a different culture.
