operation amsterdam be a pleasant surprise . it have both a strong story and some unusual cinematic touch to keep the viewer interested . the story of the british secret service agent who be send to amsterdam to recover industrial diamond before the german invasion be a familiar one and and their eventual safe escape be predictable enough . what interest me be the atmosphere of fear and bleakness that the producer manage to convey . the empty street and in bright sunlight while the column of flee people while the confusion of not know who be enemy or friend and make for a good than average effect . add to this a score make only with drum and and some very abrupt editing that be almost painful to watch and make this a worthwhile watch .
