The problem with this documentary is that the story itself has enough drama to make an excellent documentary but that the director wants to make more out of it . From moment one the story is filled with unneccessary details like showing animals, soldiers in a studio with camouflage, grannies screaming in a megaphone and poor acting by script. Totally unneccessary, so that you loose focus on the main thing, the Incredible rescue of the 4 children. What remains is an unsatisfying documentary over a dramatic event which deserved much more than this poor execution from a director who finds his creative extra's more important the the story itself.

80 minutes pure adrenaline from Antwerp in one of the most surprising movies of the year so far. An over the top rollercoaster. It helps if you have some knowledge of the Antwerp dialect and it also available to know a little about some Belgium political affairs to understand some of the surprising depth which is hidden in this not so subtile movie. The car, I don't know if Lexus was happy with this way of advertising, is used as the point of view of the camera and that really works. The acting, especially from the Flemish actors is superb, but it really starts with the 5 minutes Dutch actor. Frank Lammers makes his short entrance. Only dissonant Mobic Hendricks as Miss Brasschaat.

A fill my time, just before sleeping show. Nothing special, you see what you expect to see, well acted and probably very American.for a European to watch. The development of the characters is not very exciting and.after 11 episodes it's more than enough. Nice but forgettable.
