Despite the my catchy title, I thought this was a very well done film.
It depicts a struggle between good (resistance) v. bad (Nazi and Dutch collaborators)
There is a third player here however, the complacency of the Dutch public. They were willing to look the other way as their Jewish neighbors were being carted away.
The Dutch Jewish population had been their for hundreds of years (see Rembrandt paintings). Holland was one of the worst of the Western European nations in terms of the level of their cooperation with the Nazis. I wish the film would have at least shown some of the "collaboration" was passive and involved good men and women saying nothing.
