Not bad but not great drama set in Norway late in WWII mostly - Betrayal review by PV
OK so in English and Norwegian with subtitles for the latter only, no subs option otherwise.
All a bit clunky really, bookended by scenes in early 70s in USA, seems very amateurish.
First time writer and director, maybe that shows.
A bit confusing esp with 2 characters short and fat with moustaches who look near identical.
All a bit derring do at the end (no spoilers) - rather comic strip.
Not bad but not great, 3 stars
