Make no mistake: this is as epic as cinema gets. The visuals are absolutely stunning, the score emphasizes "big production" in every sense of the word, and there are more twists and turns in the story than any World War II genre film I've seen to date. And just when you think that, perhaps, Verhoeven is beginning to stretch the bounds of credulity, you realize that "Black Book" is based on fact. An incredible journey, definitely worth the watch if you have a few hours to kill. 8.7/10.
