Beautifully shot and tensely involving thriller focusing on the activities of a famed pair of Danish resistance fighters during the second world war. Benefits immensely from tremendously charismatic performances from the titular figures and the shadowy, heavily contrasted cinematography, where scenes are composed of deep, textured blue-blacks and vividly lit, almost luminous pales (often faces). Also digs deeply into the moral uncertainties of their actions while emphasising the violence of the killings perpetrated by them and others in their shadowy war.
