This is a good war movie. What makes it more interesting for me is that it covers a darker part of my country's history. This is probably why it caused a bit of controversy in the Netherlands. Specifically, some critics say it paints a rather one-sided picture of the situation in the former Dutch East Indies. However, historical movies never are 100% accurate, and it is just a movie. I am not sure what some people expect from movies like this.
