An excellent
film for those people who are interested in a gripping true story of the
Danish resistance movement to the Nazi takeover of their country during
WW2. Flame & Citron are the names of just two of the freedom
fighters who had to risk their lives to eliminate the Nazis and
had to deal with conflicts that arose when resistance fighters are
forced to kill their own countrymen . . . who may be collaborating with the
Germans.The film centers on two World War 2 freedom fighters. Bent, alias Flame, and Jorgen, alias Citron. Flame, a fearless 23-year-old gunman, kills anyone on his superiors' enemies list. Citron, more than 10 years older and responsible for a wife and daughter, has a marginally safer job driving getaway. But in a world of iffy confederates, conspirators and double agents, can they be certain they are killing the right people?
This fact-based movie includes gun play with double-crosses a myriad of counter-counter spy's. Who do you believe is telling the truth? Flame's older lover works for the underground and says his resistance controller is a villain out to eliminate his adversaries. Citron's wife gravitates to another man and fears that her husband, accustomed to murder, will kill her new love. Much of the film's drama relies on us analyzing what we've seen and what we think we know and becoming less and less sure of whom to trust.
