With the flair of Bonnie & Clyde and the closeness of Thelma & Louise, Flame & Citron were assassins in the Danish resistance during Nazi occupation. Flammen, played by Thure Lindhardt (Angels & Demons, Into the Wild), was the red haired shooter; while Citron, played by Mads Mikkelsen (Casino Royale, Clash of the Titans), was the driver. Targeting Danish Nazi sympathizers at first, a curious shift unfolded as they are suddenly being told to assassinate specific Germans. Add a mysterious woman who could be a double agent, along with a traitor in their inner circle; the layers of this story were kept tight and focused. There were some beautiful scenes, that had a topcoat of film noir style. The suspense, I felt, ebbed and flowed in subtle shifts, demanding my constant attention. Based on true events, essentially this is a war movie; however, I have to tell you, it was one of the more beautifully stylized movies I have seen about World War II. Danish/German with English subtitles.
