It's a fine movie about a interesting person in Danish history. To be hornets I didn't know Henrik Kaufmann and the history of him before this movie. It's a interesting man and a interesting story. The play from the actors is really good from all. Go to the theater and see the movie. It's worth it.

I love films where I learned something I did not know before about world events. This film is one of those movies. I did not know the exact circumstances of Denmark previous to the US entry into World War 2. This film clarifies it perfectly.

The only drawback to the film is the subplot of a jealous wife for her husband and sister, which I found to be non-essential to the basic plot of the movie.

The acting and direction is very good, and the Hamlet reference is fairly obvious at the conclusion, but the political negotiations between the US and Denmark before and during the war were fascinating. And the solutions created by the creative Ambassador of Denmark were nothing short of brilliant. Money always wins.

I liked the cadence of the move (others have complained), it is not a war action movie, it demonstrates the complexities going on behind the scenes and how brave people can become even when it is not popular to do so.

Nobody at the time could have predicted the outcomes, so yes it was brave to take a stance and do whatever means necessary to defeat a threat to your country's democracy.

Great story. It could have been much better with a simultaneously running story following the war in Denmark and less jealous woman theme. Also a greater budget allowing more actions would have made a huge difference.

Too much focus personal intrigues and too little focus on the history
