About
If you want a grim, suspenseful WWII drama told from a collaborator’s perspective, this delivers relentless tension and moral ugliness; Not for you if you need clear heroes, uplifting payoffs, or lighter war stories like John Rabe.
Pros: tense cat-and-mouse; strong lead performance; vivid 1940s atmosphere | Cons: bleak subject matter; complex, sometimes confusing; uneven pacing at times
