Stars:Plot:
September 1944 - Nazi Occupied Holland'. When her temporary safe house is destroyed by a bomb, the beautiful young Jewish chanteuse Rachel Steinn joins fellow refugees in an attempt to reach safe Allied territory by boat.
Tragedy strikes when a Nazi patrol intercepts their escape, ruthlessly killing everybody onboard including Rachel's family; only Rachel escapes the massacre. Embittered and desperate for revenge, she joins the Resistance where, assigned a new identity as the blond Ellies de Vries, she is charged with infiltrating the German Security Service by seducing senior officer Muntze (Sebastian Koch).
Twenty years in the making, this stunning, sexy war film from the internationally acclaimed blockbuster director Paul Verhoeven ('Basic Instinct', 'Total Recall', 'Starship Troopers') is an epic and moving tale of great courage and fierce emotion - played out against the dying explosive months of WWII.

My Thoughts:
I have bought this movie after reading the reviews by Rich and Eric. I enjoyed this movie. Some scenes seemed familiar to me. Maybe I have seen some bits and pieces on TV at some time. But that is doubtful as I haven't watched regular TV for years. This is one of those movie, where when I read the overview it sounds interesting, but for some reason I am never seem to be in the mood for some. I am glad that I finally came around to it. The 140 minutes went by fast.

My Thoughts:
I remember seeing this one before... and thinking it was only OK. But when I saw the disc at the store I had the urge to watch it again. On second viewing I thought it was great! Normally I find Adam Sandler really hit and miss on his films... this one I find to be a definite hit. Put that along with Kevin James and several others and we have here a really good time! This movie is a lot of fun... well worth the time put in to watch it! Definitely recommend checking it out if you haven't yet.I now have the urge to walk up to the local Redbox and see if they have the second one I could rent. Though it's not like I don't have plenty here to watch as it is!
