Anybody seen Max Manus yet?
Yes, the best norwegian movie ever made, though that tells more about norwegian movies in general.
In true norwegian spirit, the acting isnt too good. The story is true, except a few details in the action scenes that has to be exaggerated. As a norwegian i think its extremely intresting, but for others i would assume its nothing more than a standard resistance-movie.
7/10
Regarding the posts about Nicholas Cage i totally agree that he ruin any movie. Particulary war movies. Like Windtalkers. Maybe its a 4 , but with Cage its maybe only 2. The only movie he fits is Raising Arizona, where hes supposed to be stupid. Aswell as maybe this movie where he try to drink himself to death, dont remember the name atm.
2 south korean good movies:
-Brotherhood of war: a good war movie from the korean war. Its not very realistic, but filled with very good special effects and alot of action all the time, almost too much. Alot of drama, though it works out perfectly well without getting boring. If anything gets boring its all the fistfighting all the time. I like realistic movies, but this one is still extremely entertaining and the 2,5 hours pass by fast. 7/10
-R point: a very good thriller in a war setting. A south korean squad is sent on a mission to find out what happened to a group of missing soldiers, in the vietnam war. They soon loose radio communication and a nightmare starts. its a psychological thriller, maybe the best ive seen. In a way its the same mood as The Bunker (british movie from the 90's). R point is very scary, without any monsters or tormented bodies. I really recommend this movie 10/10
