mystery thriller disguised as a WWII movie, Jui 26 2009
Just when you think filmmaker cannot milk anymore out of the WWII genre along comes Paul Verhoeven. Those who only know his English language popcorn movies (Basic Instinct, Total Recall, Showgirls) will be in for a surprise.
This is one of the most intelligent and clever scripts ever filmed. Literally there are numerous times when the surprises in the film you truly never see coming. That's what makes this flick a total thrill ride as well as an amazing work in capturing the "look" of the latter days of WWII in German-occupied, and later liberated, Holland.
In the end this film does not work at all without Carice Van Houten who as the fulcrum around which all the mystery and thrills revolves pulls off this role of a lifetime.
Of course, no Verhoeven flick can be shot without the requisite babes showing their assets so fans of that aspect of the randy old Dutchman will also not be disappointed but unlike Showgirls, the choices seem to actually work within the context of the script.
The extras are just a director's commentary track and a making of where we get to know some good bits about the Dutch and German actors esp. the real-life friendship between the two main female actors and also this tidbit--the entire film cost just 16 million euros.

Black Book, Fév 15 2009
Black Book is the kind of movie you want to have in your collection. Interesting, intelligent and exciting, it is another fine production out of Europe. Carice van Houten gives a star performance as Rachel Stein, a Jewish woman of courage, willing to do what she must in order to survive the Nazi occupation. Black Book is not as good as The Lives of Others (what could be?) but it is in the same league.
Why can't Hollywood make movies as good as this one?

blacker than black book, Nov. 26 2007
Black book is a thriller mystery that is excellent.Its 2 1/2 hours fits nicely into just the right amount of intrigue and excitement too keep you on the edge of your seat.Based on a true story, director Paul Verhoenen has once again out done his earlier works. It has a interesting plot and you just dont know what is going on until the end. The beautiful actress Carise van Houten is a believable character and the rest of the cast is fabulous with no holes or letdowns throughout the entire movie. Their are characters that you love and ones that you hate.The extras on the dvd are interesting and alot of knowledge of the real story of the Black Book is told on the commentary by the director and also a great,the making of featurette.All in all Black Book is one of the best war movies that is available.Only the Black Book knows what its secret is.Totally an irresistible rush !!!!!

World War 11, Fév 9 2009
I have many WW11 movies and books on the subject and this movie even with sub-titles is an excellent account of a Jewish woman fighting the enemy,and for her life.
