And based on real events... The atmosphere of the 1930ies is captured well, performances are convincing, particularly Priit Võigemast as Feliks Kangur - well, the whole well-written plot is about-around him, there are really few scenes without his presence. The events develop smoothly and everything is nicely rounded up, although some deuteragonists seemed excessive and/or their inclusion remained unexplained.

Should be especially interesting for those familiar with Tallinn.

Margus Paju's second feature film is an espionage thriller set at the dawn of World War II. Unable to distinguish between friend or foe, Feliks Kangur, an Estonian intelligence officer, will struggle to find vital information that will help save his country.

Based on real events, the production work facilitates the credibility of the film, achieving a confusing environment where it is impossible to decipher the purpose of each character; In addition to this, political and military events unfold at breakneck speed, while showing us the protagonist's past and the arrival of an imminent war.

"Within this European mega-production, there are good characters, great setting but above all a valuable story"

"O2," an Estonian film, is a compelling recommendation for anyone interested in intricate espionage dramas interwoven with historical narratives. The film masterfully explores two primary plots. The first plot centers on the fate of two spies, delving deeply into the sacrifices they make and the destinies of those they manipulate or even simply come into contact with. The intricate web of espionage reveals the personal and moral dilemmas faced by those operating in the shadows. The second plot portrays the fate of Estonia, a young European country caught in the geopolitical games of larger powers. The narrative provides a poignant depiction of the country's gradual loss of independence, highlighting the broader historical context and the external forces at play. The protagonist is a character that leaves a lasting impression, invoking empathy as he grapples with his guilt over failing an individual and his profound sorrow for a country he could not save. His inner turmoil and emotional depth are palpable, making him a character that resonates strongly with the audience. Overall, "O2" is a gripping and thought-provoking film that combines personal drama with historical events, making it a must-watch for those who appreciate layered storytelling and rich character development.

Solid spionage movie during the start of WWII - interesting and patriotic story with some real life events, good performances, good camera movement; liked everything, thumbs up! For acting I'd like to bring forward Priit Võigemast for main line, Elmo Nüganen for background and Indrek Ojari as a serious guy.

Although the film depicts things that happened in the 1930s, it is more relevant in the 2020s than you might think. The film starts off a little confusing at first. Sometimes we jumped between different times and the characters in the film remained distant. The script and direction improved the further the film progressed. The staging and filming were quality work. The historical perspective was well conveyed in this film. I recommend watching even if you don't like agent movies. There are many other dimensions in this movie, which is why I liked the film a lot. In the same time, the movie reminds us the world we live. The has not much progress happened after 1930's.
