Flame & Citron
Based on true events, Flame & Citron is a WWII spy thriller about two Danish resistance fighters who work undercover performing acts of sabotage and liquidating Nazi informers. Flame (Thure Lindhardt, Into the Wild) and Citron (Mads Mikkelsen, Casino Royale) are old friends whose bond deepens in the dark trenches of war. The two begin to question their orders when Flame is asked to execute his girlfriend, Ketty. Desperate and disillusioned, Flame and Citron come to suspect that the Holger Dankse resistance has a hidden agenda, and that the only people they can trust are each other.

This is a good film in many respects. Good cinematograhpy. Really captured the feel of the era. Acting was excellent.
But at the end of the day it was just too long and draggy. While dramatic moments emerged here and there, there wasn't a sustained plot that carried the long film. I started to loose interest in the characters, and (spoiler alert) when they did die at the end I felt it wasn't inevitable and didn't care.
So lots of good stuff to say, but it just didn't come together as a strong story with characters and a plot that were engaging enough to really make it into a much see film.
But give it a go if you're a WWII film buff.Far from a Lemon Movie - Amateur
Although I am not sure about the fact that this film makes heroes of two men who killed people, I have to say that I really liked this film. By watching this, you realize the numerous hardships, confusion and paranoia that a war will bring to humanity. During these times, survival instincts sometimes play a factor in people making drastic decisions, including killing. I did not get the impression that these characters (flame and citron) were psychopaths. Therefore, it appears that their actions emanates from despair and limited alternatives. On top of an intriguing story the acting was of a superior quality. Watch this film it is worth it.Un thriller efficace - cinimod1
L'histoire de deux résistants Danois qui pendant la guerre en 1944 sont chargés d'exécuter froidement des dirigeants Nazi. Ces missions les feront passer par toutes sortes d'émotions, de semblant de trahisons, d'abandons pour finalement se rendre compte qu'ils n'étaient peut-être pas sur la bonne voie... mais peut-être aussi sur la bonne. L'intrigue est efficace et les acteurs sont très crédibles. Les paysages autant citadins que campagnards sont toujours à couper le souffle et nous montre le Danemark comme on le voit rarement par ici.
