About
You’ll like this if you enjoy bold, dark WWII revenge stories with long stretches of intense talk and high-stakes tension; Not for you if graphic violence and morally uncomfortable fantasy retribution are dealbreakers, or if you prefer something closer to Black Book or The Pianist.
Pros: tense WWII tension; sharp, memorable dialogue; standout performances | Cons: very graphic violence; dialogue-heavy pacing; divisive revenge tone
