Amazing that such an extraordinary story has not been told before. A must watch movie for young and old.

I was born in Holland so watching this film was very rewarding. This film is quite good. Van Halls was one of thousands of WWII resistance heroes. This story is told from the unique perspective of how the Dutch resistance was financed by the heroic efforts of Wally Van Hall and his brother to fraud half a billion Euros out of the Dutch bank that had been taken over by Nazi Germany and funnel it to the resistance movement. The film shows the extent of these men and women's courage, as many were caught and many families torn apart as a consequence. Worthwhile film to see.

Great story, great acting, great pace. I'm ashamed to admit that I didn't know about the great people this movie is dedicated to, but this film does a great job of introducing me to this interesting part of history that shows what it takes to trully resist tyranny. Echt een fantastische film!

The story of Dutch banking employees financing the Resistance during the German occupation is a fascinating and inspiring one. I wish I could say as much for this movie. The acting was amazing, and the settings were very evocative. So was the general atmosphere pervading the underground's activities. But something was askew with the editing and/or the way in which the story unfolded. I had a lot of trouble following it especially during the middle section. I wasn't always clear on who were the good guys and who were the bad guys. I'm still glad I saw it, and would recommend it despite its shortcomings.

While very important this aspect of dutch WWII was not known by me, until now. Very well casted and acted. Scenery comes very authentic to me.

Too much banking. Drags on. People giving it high ratings must shills.
