Michael Ledo The film opens in Holland 1944 with a downed pilot and then moves to modern times were we are introduced to a flawed and troubled Simon Fox attending the funeral of his father. Simon works in Holland for Europol. On a routine investigation he encounters a conspiracy and history buff police officer who informs Simon about project Gladio, which was to stash arms all over Europe in case of a Russian invasion. In modern times, the conspiracy goes, is that the arms are still in place and are used by the governments to stage attacks go they can enact more restrictive laws. The film made me cringe as I thought about the folks who deny Sandy Hook happened or the 9-11 "truthers." While not quite at that level, it will surely appeal to that crowd. Politics aside, the film keeps you engaged even though the plot was at times hard to follow and swallow.Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity

nick corner When I saw this movie I felt an instant relief already after less then a minute. The cinematography is wonderful and the tempo is just perfect, not as fast as the standard dazzling Hollywood fifty changes a minute, yet certainly not as slow as some European films can be. Morgan C Jones, who plays the main character, Simon Fox, must have been a hidden gem, 'cause this guy gets you to like even his unlike-abilities. The story revolves around a new anti-privacy law ( know your current events!). The baddies are so desperate to get the voters on their side, they even take to false flag bombings to gain the publics trust. I love how the story simply unfolds in an increasingly more tense atmosphere when also the tempo picks up and the number of action scenes as well. Most Hollywood directors take to the easy way of blowing things up in slow-motion too early for the story to have developed, this one doesn't. You can't help but wanting to know what comes next and the pay-off is ...well, mysterious is the right word I guess. No spoilers here. Go see the film yourself to find out!

Blastibow Finally on demand, I missed it in the theatres, now I could watch it in the 'privacy' of my home.Not the usual story, not the usual scenery, not the usual actors. Which is good. Instead of the commonlovestorybackground, the story has political, terrorist and historical undertones. Not filmed in the very picturesque city of Amsterdam, but filmed in a cold Holland, in a futuristic city -which sometimes is even still under construction- in caves and flat countrysides, which gives great wide views. Great cinematography!The actors were, besides a few familiar faces, all unknown to me, which was a relief, having seen (too) many Dutch films. And they're good! The leading characters are playing great, like they've been colleagues for years already. Not all the extras are great actors though, but hey, they're extras. ;) Sometimes too many people know too much and give away too much information, but it helps to understand the story.The story is frightening. And easy to follow: by long dialogues in the beginning you slowly get sucked into a web of intrigue. And then the movie evolves from a political thriller into an action movie, where you really don't know who's who and what's what. The soundscape gives the final push. I was in!

liftmuziek You know those movies in which Christian Slater is talking in the camera and how that really sucks? I always wished he didn't do that. But now I saw a movie which could use that kind of 'acting'It's just not a logical story. Things happen all of the sudden, but the actors seem to be ok with it and find logic in the events. I wish they explained it to me because from the point of view of a bystander the logic simply isn't there. The acting is terrible and the filming sucks. A shot of a "traffic jam" is clearly taken on a parking lot of some kind. There is a connection with WOII but it is very weak and at the same time present all the time. The actors seem to find it logical. I don't.Don't watch this.
