Fellow reviewers: Please feel free to challenge my brief review, as I confess I watched only the first ten minutes. I always grant a measure of plausibility to any given movie, but this one immediately insulted my intelligence.
The story begins with our Norwegian hero emerging from bitterly icy waters, cold enough to bring on hypothermia within minutes. While surviving this incredible ordeal, he soon has his foot shot by the enemy. Incredibly, he manages to hop away, leaving a blood trail so obvious, that I KNEW he would be captured in the next scene. Instead, we find a dozen bewildered German soldiers stopped, staring down at the hero's blood stains, as if our hero was somewhere buried underneath the snow. The next scene switches to our hero, hoping away over an open frozen tundra, devoid of ANY place to take cover for miles in any direction. But, MIRACUOUSLY, he not only manages to get away, but survive the dual dilemma of hypothermia and loss of blood.
If I had been the German commanding officer, I'd have court martialed the entire squadron for negligence of duty ... and assumed that our hero was Superman, immune to both hypothermia and bleeding.
