There are many things to like about this film but foremost among them for me is the insight into the experience of the invaded. Here in the U.S., we never faced any real threat of invasion during the second world war. In Europe, it was a sudden and brutal reality for numerous nations. This film captures the emotions of those charged with defending their homeland against the Nazi juggernaut; their bravery and fear in the face of futility. The cinematography, acting and direction are superb. It is difficult to comment on the script in a foreign film but I'll just say the translation and subtitles are well done. For militaria buffs, this is perhaps the best depiction I have seen of bolt action rifle warfare. Very close quarters. No semi-autos to be seen. I am stingy with my ratings but tempted to make this a nine star. This movie is well worth the time spent to watch it. Two thumbs up from me.

Well acted, well directed, good tension, very Danish, great costumes and very real. I enjoyed this. 7/10

In a true history of Denmark, a small country faced a war with a powerful country, just like the six bikers in the movie, fought against German armored vehicles. In the end, if you do n't win, you surrender, and there is nothing to dignity. Interestingly, ordinary people do not seem to distinguish whether they are invaders or not. When the war ended, friendship with the invading soldiers began. The film allows people to look at war from another angle.
