I don't watch many Norwegian movies. I remember the last one I watched was "Headhunting Game", which felt very ordinary. But this "The Twelfth Man" has changed the exaggerated style of the headhunting game, and it is unexpectedly wonderful.
In the context of World War II, the start was the failure of the Norwegian Resistance Army's "Red Martin" operation, and the 12-man squad was instantly reduced to one. In the harsh Nordic winter, brutal Nazi pursuit, double cruelty, the injured male protagonist hangs by a thread countless times to see how he escapes. The opening subtitles tell us that it is a real event, and the male protagonist survived, so there is no suspense in the ending, but it is still thrilling to watch, the atmosphere is well scheduled, and the characters are tough to the extreme. After the multiple dreams nested in the cabin, he cut his toes with his bare hands. The horror atmosphere reached its peak. For a moment, he was really anxious for the male protagonist.
In turn, he was deeply impressed by the Nazi major. In order to accurately grasp how long a person could last in sub-zero seawater, he jumped into the sea of ice to test himself, and tried his best to hunt down the only survivor. There is no chance of a fluke in his dictionary. It is true that he is a Nazi elite who has won a gold medal.
In addition to one positive and one negative being called opponents, they complement each other, and there are several supporting roles that are also quite good. Gu Juan didn't get married until 20 years later. In the movie, she handled her affection for the male protagonist so low-key and reserved, which was amazing. The movie is 135 minutes long, and I don't think it is long. Four and a half stars, recommended.
In addition, some lenses are extremely uncomfortable, so please be prepared.
