    A really great documentary about corruption and power! A MUST SEE!

    I must say I enjoyed this documentary very much. Exciting to learn about North Korea and how it all works, going around the system and international laws. It's like "I can't believe" how easy that sounds. If I had some million Euro or Dollars, I could be part of a lot of shady stuff. It's just very interesting.

    They got so much info, video and photos, I'm impressed. They really did a great job, all involved. I found the "Mr. James" guy especially exciting. He did the part like an award winning actor. He looked the part, had the right part and skillset. Impressive!

    Also the retired chef, such a natural calm, kinda geeky and "boring" guy, living his life, just being undercover for so long. Doing all that. That dude is a lot tougher than he looks. Respect!

    This is ABSOLUTELY worth a watch! Great from beginning to end 10/10

    This is the Most Incredible Documentary I've Ever Watched!

    I'm not a critic. All I can say is, if you want to see an undercover spy operation with real footage, watch this!

    The adrenalin you feel is real. Imagine the adrenalin and fear you'd have felt if you were the one doing it for 10 years straight.

    Absolutely incredible bravery and commitment from Ulrich & Mr James - who is the most incredible person I've ever seen at work!

    No spoilers - just watch it and you'll see for yourself. You couldn't make it up!

    Reality beats fiction

    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.

    Amazing stuff, once more Walraff Brügger

    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.

    Another masterpiece from Mads Brügger

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