unofficial reviewer

Very well executed period film in Berlin during WW II where the couple main characters start their own small protest movement of telling their truth about the regime in the form of cards left around Berlin in the hope that they will be read and passed on.

What follows is the Nazi apparatus hunting for these criminals and getting closer, closer,....

Brilliant acting by both Brendan Gleeson and Emma Watson as well as Brühl as the German police officer in charge of the investigation.

Cool unpredictable ending.
