Master director Paul Verhoeven's latest is a relentlessly gripping thriller that will leave you breathless. Late in the summer of 1944, pretty Jewish chanteuse Rachel Steinn is in hiding from the Nazis when she takes an assumed name and joins the Resistance. Her leader soon convinces her to infiltrate the German security service, in order to save his own son from being executed. Her mission soon finds her charming a high-ranking official and, without any warning, she becomes embroiled in a spider's web of intrigue, treachery and betrayal. Verhoeve's stunning, action-filled World War II re-enactments contribute greatly to this epic film's thrilling pace. – Toronto Film Festival (2006, Paul Verhoeven, Netherlands, 145m)
