Rutger Hauer plays a police officer in an imaginary world where the nazis had won the war and become a real country. In this setting Hauer's character is the typical honest cop who wants to do his job and seek the truth...but then stumbles into dark secrets about the war.
At first I was a bit disappointed because I expected an action movie but then had to admit that the movie works pretty well as a thriller. It's a bit slow at times but the plot is paced well enough to stay interesting. I also expected more of a cheesy b-movie style but it was actually very serious and believable story.
The nazi setting creates a fresh take on the detective thriller genre and makes it even more thrilling. There's not much graphic violence, only a little bit of shooting, but the overall story is a bit unsettling...which it's supposed to be.
If you think the concept of this movie seems interesting to you, see it. And also of course if you're a fan of Rutger Hauer.
