I found this to be a very slow moving movie with characters that were not very likable nor identifiable with. The main character player by Viggo was such a sad character of a person, a total weakling, if it was not for his propaganda purposes, one could not see his belonging to the SS. He tries to be good to his friend but can't, he can't say no, he can't say yes..just flowing along like a leaf in a weak current of water. Recommend? Not really.
