| great movie (by grspeck-810-453477) |
| loved the movie from beginning to end...and yes they had to shoot the German because he was the enemy and could have shot them too...you see a Nazi uniform you are scared automatically...believe me I've been there...anybody who says different were not in this war...the acting was great but the English guy reminded me of Hugh Grant...does not matter it had a little humor which you needed at that time...loved the British gunner..also saw him in harry potter...all together it was a fantastic movie, really liked it and reminded me of home...sounds funny but this is what it did to me...I guess <more> |
| Low budget movie, but very good! (by theduddlers) |
| This movie was one of the biggest surprises of 2013... When I looked it up I noticed it was very low budget and it didn't seem to be very interesting. That was the case in the beginning, it was very boring to be honest and you weren't very interested. But when the movie really got going, things started to get very exciting. The conflicts between the two forces were very enjoyable and I sat glued to my seat to follow every detail. To see these two enemy forces work together for survival made my heart warm. It was a very emotional and beautiful movie all the way to the end and I can <more> |
| war enemies becomes friends (by kevintempel) |
| I just saw the movie. I give it a 9, it would have been a 10 if they had a scene of the planes fighting in the sky before the start. Sort of was missing that war scene so we could more get into the situation of hate of another.But the actors does a great job, everyone is great. The beautiful and harsh landscape of the Norwegian mountains and wilderness is really beautiful and spectacular, and shows what sort of situation they are in. You get involved as an audience, you feel their emotions and feel their pain, and feels sorry for even the Germans. It is a story of enemies that hate each <more> |
| A very fine film (by sicksisters) |
| Although it does not really qualify as war film, 'Into the White' ranges among the best WW2 films I have seen. The makers as well as the actors deserve praise for getting the most out of a fascinating story: The film is beautifully shot, the soundtrack fits perfectly and the characters are convincing. Indeed, great care must have been taken when choosing the actors, for they not only have the correct origin except for Strunk, though this will probably go undetected by non-native speakers but also look like people did back then.All in all it might not be an overly thought-provoking <more> |
| Exceptional. (by MartinHafer) |
| "Into the White" is similar to an old Frank Sinatra film "None But the Brave". Both are set during WWII and both are about a small isolated group of soldiers from both sides MUST work together to survive. In the case of "None But the Brave", it was a fictional story about American and Japanese soldiers. Here with "Into the White", it's about two groups of fliers--one German and the other British. However, instead of taking place in the nice, warm Pacific, this film is set in the frozen wastes of Norway. When both planes are shot down, five airmen <more> |
| Extraordinary true story about unlikely friendship in war (by OJT) |
| Norwegian director Petter Næss has gathered a fine acting crew in this true story about three German and two British war pilots meeting up in a remote hunting cabin during a harsh Norwegian winter storm up in the high mountains, after shooting each other's planes down during the Second World War.Being forced to work together, with all doubts and mistrust, they after some days started off what was an unlikely friendship while the war was on it's culmination.The film succeeds in telling a story of fright evolving into friendship, in a chamber like story. All the five main actors are <more> |
| Very enjoyable true story (by joshua-303-92778) |
| I really liked this movie. It doesn't attempt to be a Hollywood blockbuster or anything like that. Just a good, smart, watchable film.If you're reading these reviews, then you probably already know the basic story: several British airmen during WWII find themselves in a remote Nordic cabin with several German airmen. They must cooperate or perish.There's a great scene where the group is drinking merrily, and find themselves outside, watching a spectacular display of the Northern Lights. Even in the midst of despair, the men are able to enjoy a total moment of solace. |
| Great premise, patchy delivery (by alistair-475-412811) |
| The other reviews have highlighted the good and the bad about this movie. It is easy to see what the director was trying to achieve: the concept is a good one, some of the cinematography was excellent, some of the acting was first rate, the story was well told and the human element was explored with humour, subtlety and warmth. These are the reasons it's worth an 8/10.Without the great storyline and the humour however, this would be a 4/10 movie because: While Strunk and Horst were perfectly cast, without exception, all the other actors, including Harry Potter's sidekick and the <more> |
