Numéro 24

Subtle, delicate, true Scandinavian style.

A touching real story, presented in a non cliché way.

Went for it on a random Friday night, with zero expectations, but ended up surprisingly engaged ever since the beginning, and eventually sobbing at the end of it.

Sjur Vatne Brean gives a compelling performance and I believe that he managed to embrace successfully the core of Gunnar Sønsteby's personality and show it on screen.

A breath a fresh air on the scene of WWII-themed movies. A must-watch for everyone interested in this part of modern history or just a fan of some good Scandinavian cinema.

Another in a long line of movies about Resistance groups, and yes even Nazis have wives and children who love them, but the question posed by the young student has an easy answer: go talk to somebody who experienced the holocaust from the inside. Sadly the folks who need to see this movie, and ask themselves these questions, won't. The French, Norwegians, Danes, and Low Country citizens were entirely justified in their judgements and actions-and yes, so were the Russians. The real issue confronting the students, and the viewers of this movie, is: what side are you on, and what are you going to do if confronted by the kind of crisis that overwhelmed poor Norway? There's plenty of evidence that there were indeed many captive occupied people, and many "good Germans," who chose to keep their heads down. Fortunately, there are always a few of extraordinary courage and moral certainty. We just have to hope they're around when you need them.

Saw this at a sneak premiere at Bergen Kino tonight (29/10-24) presented by the director and main actor.. This movie tells the story about one of Norways most famous resistance fighter(s) and it does it as well as it could possibly do.

I'm not a person who let my emotions take the best of me but this movie hit me quite hard.

I struggled with not crying in many scenes and the whole movie is a rollercoaster of how a war movie can and should be.

It's based on Gunnar "Kjakan" Sønstebys life during WW2 and the German occupation of Norway.

As a veteran myself, I was stunned by the realism, the choices they had to make and also the moral aspects of the movie.

Is it okay to kill one nazi individual when the consequences are ten or more other Norwegians killed by the nazis as revenge?

Just watch this movie! Truly one of the best Norwegian movies ever made.

And that includes the original "9 liv".

The best Norwegian war movie ever!!!

"Number 24" is a deeply moving Norwegian film that dives into a war-torn environment, where notions of resistance, freedom, and the sacred duty of liberation clash with the equally profound values of friendship and the ultimate sanctity of human life. It's a story that doesn't offer easy answers but instead asks us to sit with the complexities of human choices in impossible situations.

The audience is drawn into a delicate and artful struggle of emotions, questioning the very nature of what is right and wrong. This subjectivity feels especially raw in the chaos of war, where morality becomes fluid and every decision carries immense weight.

With breathtaking performances and stunning cinematography, the film portrays the harshness of its setting while highlighting the fragile beauty of human connection. It's a story that stays with you, making you reflect on what truly matters when ideals and lives are on the line.

A must-watch for anyone who appreciates emotionally charged storytelling that challenges the mind and touches the heart.

This was one of the best movies I have watched in a long while. A very touching story of a resistance fighter during WW2 that was both exciting, thrilling and left me very moved with the ending that I actually shed a tear. Not many movies will do that but this one did and I am very glad I had the opportunity to watch it. The story was one that I have never heard of but the story telling was excellent. I cant really say anything bad about this movie as it is perfect in my opinion and the people that made this movie, the actors, directors and everyone else involved deserve a round of applause. A must see.
