In Nazi-occupied Denmark, two resistance assassins take on dangerous missions against collaborators, hoping to strike back at the occupiers themselves.

About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a dark, fact-based WWII resistance drama focused on doubt, loyalty, and consequences rather than nonstop action; Not for you if you want clear heroes, easy answers, or a brisk pace like Land of Mine.

Pros: gripping, bleak story; strong performances; tense moral ambiguity | Cons: long runtime; can feel confusing; uneven pacing at times
