Synopsis

MAX MANUS – MAN OF WAR is the thrilling tale of one man's heroic actions in the line of duty. The story's protagonist, Max Manus, is a Norwegian resistance fighter involved in liberating his country from the occupying Nazi forces. His ability to carry out sabotage attacks on the Germans with pinpoint precision earns him a reputation as one of Norway's elite. The Gestapo, meanwhile, are not oblivious to the threat posed by Manus and attempt to take him out. Ever resourceful, Manus manages to evade capture and goes on to form a group of urban fighters known as the 'Oslo Gang' who help drive out the enemy using guerilla warfare. Despite his numerous triumphs on the battlefront, Manus struggles to come to terms with the loss of his comrades' lives and the futility of war. Based on true events, the film's moving storyline and stunning visuals bring to life this epic chapter in World War II history.

5.0 out of 5 stars Visually stunning, Action-packed and Emotionally Affecting, 14 May 2009
I had been waiting for this film for a long while and managed to see it at one of the advanced screenings. It really is an incredible film. It's been a long while since a WW2 movie has moved me in the same way - I'm thinking The Pianist. I also read that the screenwriter died very recently at the age of just 28... which is incredible in itself given the depth and sheer scale of this film. A true epic in every sense of the word the film follows Max Manus, a Norwegian resistance figher first in the Winter War in Finland against the advancing Russian army and then in Norway itself where he wages war on the occupying Nazi forces with a group of resistance fighters called "The Oslo Gang". Shockingly brutal at times in terms of the violence this film does not shy away from the harsh realities of war and the incredible ordeal that occupied countries suffered at the hands of Nazi Germany. Packed with intense visceral action this is a film that will both keep you locked to the screen with excitement and have a profound emotional affect. In all honesty this is one of the most brilliant war movies I have seen for a long time. Breathtaking

5.0 out of 5 stars The best Norwegian film, 11 Jun 2009
By N. W. Lediard (Norway) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have lived and worked in Norway for 11 years now and am fluent in Norwegian. I have seen a good deal of Norwegian films in my time... but this one is a real gem!
Tells the story of one of Norway's biggest Resistance heros, great filming, great acting and great sound.

Saw it at the cinema here in Norway and now I am looking forward to the Blu ray version.

Highly recommended.
