The Mole: Undercover in North Korea

Once again Mads Brügger demonstrates how reality beats fiction. I the beginning I found it too constructed, with a debriefing and the instructors voice over. But as the story unfolded, I have to agree that the narrated style worked well. Then I just watched in amazement and disbelief.

It's just that crazy. If this was the plot to a film you'd probably have critics saying the plot was too far-fetched for the film to be enjoyable.

The happenings uncovered by these two fearless Danish men are- quite literally at times- unbelievable, and it's that precisely that makes this such an enthralling and jaw-dropping watch.

Truly seismic and really hope it gets the recognition it deserves.

Easily the beat documentary, I've ever watched. Was tied to the screen though the whole thing - in pure disbelief.

I rarely tend to review on here, and maybe I'll reflect on this review having posted during yet another moment of midweek lockdown malaise, but my initial reaction is that I can't recall ever watching a documentary with such a mixture of incredulity and respect for the 2 protagonists. Apart from them demonstrating serious cohones, the director has produced an important 2 hours, during which I sat mostly open mouthed.

Mads Brügger is better than ever when he uses others as walraff mole to uncover the nasty secrets of North Korea and their disiples. I was tied to the screen for every second of this, and if you ever thought that the North Korean regime was up to any good, you'll learn better from this. This is very important work, and kudos to the two moles. Fantastic work, and important work for world human community.
