Very well made movie. Gives both sides of the story, and the acting is amazing.

This is one of the best WWII spy movies I've seen. Although it's long, it's so gripping and so full of plot twists, you're compelled to watch. The cold brutality and utter inhumanity of the Nazi regime are shown in unsparing detail. The acting is terrific. This is a much rawer film than "The Secret Lives of Others," which is another intelligent glimpse of what repressive regimes can do to people. I highly recommend this film.

This is definitely a movie not to be missed. The story was phenomenal. The acting superb. The photography and set decorations are handled meticulously. It was refreshing to see a new twist given to a WWII action/adventure, spy/thriller. This has everything you would expect with many unpredictable surprises. I was so impressed with this movie that I bought it to add to my dvd collection. What an incredible masterpiece.

I AM GLAD THAT WE HAD ALREADY SEEN THIS MOVIE AND IT WAS A GOOD ONE. UNFORTUNATELY WE DID NOT LIKE WATCHING THE MOVIE AGAIN WITH THE DIRECTORS COMMENTARY. WE PREFER TO JUST WATCH THE MOVIE.

The essence of war is not the enormous justice such as one's homeland, freedom, emancipation, etc but disgusting human's desire. This movie shows that in Verhoeven's style, in violent realism. It seems like Verhoeven found the missing agenda after he got his country from Hollywood.

This is one of the best movies I have seen in a long time. It was heart wrenching to see how greed affected the escapes of the trusting wealthier Jews. Even "The Resistance" begins to doubt their own comrades as they see the German's are in wait for them on many of their attacks. You can sense the despair in not knowing who they can really trust.

Very well done movie. Story line takes a different path then typical WW II movies. Has a few disturbing scenes that add to the realism of the story.

A nice, WWII thriller, involving beautiful women, nasty Nazis and heroic Resistance fighters. Also some not-so-beatiful women, not-so-nasty Nazis and not-so-heroic Resistance fighters. Spend a delightful time watching this tale of adventure. Warning: frontal nudity, for the skittish viewer.
