De Oost/The East is another proof that more and more good war movies are made in Europe and beat most of modern war blockbusters of Hollywood. The East tells a rather unknown story of colonial activities in post WWII by the government of the Netherlands. It is also very thought provoking - soldiers of the Netherlands who fought the Germans are switching their role and are now in the role of the suppressors who commit crimes of war. Good acting and production and some nice cinematography make The East an entertaining and interesting watch. Maybe not a masterpiece but good.
