7/10
murky, harsh espionage film
4 December 2015
In Nazi occupied Denmark, red-headed Bent 'Flame' Faurschou-Hviid (Thure Lindhardt) and Jørgen 'Citron' Haagen Schmith (Mads Mikkelsen) are resistance members. They do not kill Germans following rules of engagement to avoid Nazi retaliation. Their handler Aksel Winther gives them a list from London of German agents to assassinate. It's a murky world of secret agendas, hidden dangers and double dealing.

It's a well made espionage movie. It's murky. It doesn't really give much setup for these characters. These are hard men. It's not a simple Bond movie. The movie is a little long but these are compelling characters with a lot of twists. The performances are cold and tough.
