Vores mand i Amerika

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 have seen many WWI-II movies with more action, excitement, suspense, drama, etc. This movie is bland. I know that there is a book on Henrik Kauffmann called "Defiant Diplomacy." I hope that the book is better than this movie.

Entertainment value: 5 Visuals: 6 Soundtrack: 4 Plot: 4 World building and depth: 6 Characters and dialog: 4 Total: 5

The good: Nice setting in the American 40s.

The bad: The dialog felt bland. The acting was not that good most of the time. The main character did not fit his role in my opinion. The American president was the sweetest old man, dunno if theodore roosevelt was that man in reality.

I much enjoyed, the story, the acting and the script.
