Max Manus

My husband and I found this movie to be quite interesting. We had no idea what the movie was about when we went to it. We did find that the subtitles were hard to read in a lot of cases.

great movie

I enjoyed this movie because it was not the usual "hollywood" type movie. Good Acting, good storyline but at the sametime stuck to facts. It was sure nice to see something different and entertaining at the same time. Well Done!

Maxmanus is a strong, compelling drama that explores the challenges and conflicts that faced the Jewish resistance in WW2. An excellent thought-provoking drama!

totally worth the time!

One of this years best pictures so far. Definitely a Best Foreign Picture Nominee.

it was nice to see the norway side of the war. very well done

An excellent portrayal of a true story norwegian war hero. Big action scenes don't out weight his personal story.

During World War II, the German juggernaut reached into Norway and the King was forced into exile in England. A small band of underground forces, lead by Max Manus (Askel Hennie), became a consistent and annoying presence. The film extends through the early years of the war to the final liberation when Germany collapsed after Hitler's suicide in 1945. Max Manus was a man who developed a fearless determination to disrupt the Nazi forces while maintaining a fierce loyalty for his men. Much of the story centers on his good friend and fighting partner, Gregers (Nicolai Cleves Broch) which typified the bond these underground fighters created in fighting for their country and each other.

Didn't know the movie was subtitled. A few people left the theater after a few minutes. The fighting scene were very realistic and the tension of the sabatoge scenes was intense. Overall, the plot and storyline was very well done. The characters and there development were potrayed very well.

Excellent movie

Very interesting and well-acted. I recommend it!

A truly great story. Well told.

Very interesting story...and true too !

It was a great movie, very moving. I will definitely be watching it again soon.

This film was very well done. I am not usually one for movies to do with war taking place back then, but this one kept me very interested. The acting was very good also.

An amazing and superb foreign film. The acting, direction and production are incredible. The story follows Max Manus and his small but significant resistance group in Oslo Norway during WW2 and his daring operations and back breaking escapes from the Nazi's. If you liked Tarantino's Inglorious Basterds you will love Max Manus. Think Oscar for Best Foreign Film for next year!

This movie was fantastic. I found it gripping, suspenseful and compelling right from the start. Fantastic acting, great story telling, and an amazing job done with making the sets and scenery look authentic to the time. A definite must see for any fans of war movies.

This is a good old fashioned war movie, full of emotion, action and excitement.

Great movie. Not quite a five star.

The script is brilliant and really emphasises the nobility of Norwegian self-sacrifice at all levels as well as the psychological toll that living under a death threat exerts on Max and his comrades. A superbly tense drama (thanks for the tickets, Tribute!)

I really enjoyed Max Manus, especially from a Norwegian's perspective.

it was interesting to watch how those young people want to fight to get the country back.

True story of WWII heroics that's exciting and engrossing, and even has some romance in the mix.

Very suspencful and a great protrail of the courage shown by the Norwegians!

Good turnout for a 4:00 PM showing of a foreign language movie about World War II in Norway.

I went in thinking this would be heavy on 'war' content but there was little of that, only shown in support of the main story, which revolved around the main character's relationship with his team members and a woman he meets. It was refreshing to see a movie about a 'hero' who was so ambivalent about the role he was playing and the toll on the people around him. Depite the subtitles the movie engaged me for the duration, and what was missed in translation/inflection was easily readable on the faces of the actors. It was very well cast with a talented group.

Thoroughly enjoyable

It was hard on the eyes to read the subtitles at times.

Surprised

Interesting movie!

A terrific film filled with great action, suspense and intrigue.

Pretty good, intense movie!

A well produced historical drama, but some of the sub-titles were a little hard to read as they were an off yellow colour.

I really enjoyed this movie. I know some people don't like subtitles, but I don't mind them at all. I felt the movie did a great job protraying the emotion and feelings of Max. Even though the movie centered sround war there was a nice personal/relationship story as well.

Very true to life. Great set design. Interesting storyline not often heard on this side of the Atlantic.

The movie was pretty good. A tad boring as it's set back in the day but still good.

It was really well done and I was very impressed with the cocntent as well as the execution of the facts and details of the story.
