Nr. 24

Subtle, delicate, true Scandinavian style.

A touching real story, presented in a non cliché way.

Went for it on a random Friday night, with zero expectations, but ended up surprisingly engaged ever since the beginning, and eventually sobbing at the end of it.

Sjur Vatne Brean gives a compelling performance and I believe that he managed to embrace successfully the core of Gunnar Sønsteby's personality and show it on screen.

A breath a fresh air on the scene of WWII-themed movies. A must-watch for everyone interested in this part of modern history or just a fan of some good Scandinavian cinema.

Another in a long line of movies about Resistance groups, and yes even Nazis have wives and children who love them, but the question posed by the young student has an easy answer: go talk to somebody who experienced the holocaust from the inside. Sadly the folks who need to see this movie, and ask themselves these questions, won't. The French, Norwegians, Danes, and Low Country citizens were entirely justified in their judgements and actions-and yes, so were the Russians. The real issue confronting the students, and the viewers of this movie, is: what side are you on, and what are you going to do if confronted by the kind of crisis that overwhelmed poor Norway? There's plenty of evidence that there were indeed many captive occupied people, and many "good Germans," who chose to keep their heads down. Fortunately, there are always a few of extraordinary courage and moral certainty. We just have to hope they're around when you need them.

This was one of the best movies I have watched in a long while. A very touching story of a resistance fighter during WW2 that was both exciting, thrilling and left me very moved with the ending that I actually shed a tear. Not many movies will do that but this one did and I am very glad I had the opportunity to watch it. The story was one that I have never heard of but the story telling was excellent. I cant really say anything bad about this movie as it is perfect in my opinion and the people that made this movie, the actors, directors and everyone else involved deserve a round of applause. A must see.

I have seen countless World War II-focused films. Let's just say, I watch virtually anything and everything that is released that features World War II stories.

So I would say that Number 24 is not your standard Second World War film. In stumbling upon this picture on Netflix, I never anticipated that I would come away feeling that Number 24 was one of the most compelling World War II films I have ever seen.

Number 24 brilliantly presents the most challenging of moral dilemmas that so often face combatants in war, especially a war as horrific as World War II.

For those who appreciate World War II films, I offer Number 24 my highest recommendation.

Bravo.

I have to admit, I'm not usually a big fan of Scandinavian movies. But when I saw Number 24 on Netflix today, I thought, "Why not give it a try?" I'm so glad I did!

The movie exceeded my expectations with its sharp dialogues, well-developed characters, and a hauntingly beautiful soundtrack. It felt like every detail was perfectly crafted.

As someone from Southern Europe, I don't know much about World War II in Scandinavia, but this film offered a fresh perspective. The cinematography was stunning, and the storytelling was so engaging.

It's a must-watch! I'd give it a solid 9/10. Bravo to the creators!
