Black Book
In Israel in 1956 there was a girl named Rachel, a Jewish woman. Rachel met an old kibbutz friend where she worked as a teacher. Rachel recalls her experiences in the Netherlands during the war. In September 1944, Rachel received a lot of trouble when her hiding place was bombed by coalition forces. Rachel joined a group of Jews who would be smuggled through Pisgos by sea through boats to the south of the Netherlands. But the Germans killed them all and only Rachel, who was able to escape, survived. In the end, she will be called Elise de Fries because she is part of the Jewish resistance that the Germans reject.

Seven years after he disappeared with the whimper that was Hollow Man, Paul Verhoeven has returned with what may be his best film.
August 27, 2009
It's the last thing a Verhoeven film should be: tasteful
April 30, 2007
Paul Verhoeven's WWII drama stars the lovely Dutch actress Carice van Houten as a Jewish Resistance worker, and costars her breasts. All three deserve awards consideration.
March 06, 2008
While gleefully turning all prior war movie stereotypes on their heads, Verhoeven opts for the bizarre theory that ravishing designing women and lots of sex can change the course of world history.
April 27, 2007
Insanely entertaining -- and often just plain insane -- World War II melodrama. You may hate yourself in the morning, but you'll have to admit Verhoeven gives you a lot of bang for your buck.
May 04, 2007
Verhoeven never loses sight of the larger message -- that in those evil times, ordinary people were forced to do extraordinary, and even awful, things just to live long enough to tell their tale.
April 27, 2007
Black Book doesn't let the grim facts of the Holocaust get in the way of some ripping pulp.
April 27, 2007
The happy ending demands that [Verhoeven's] return-journey film -- Black Book -- be a rousing artistic triumph. It isn't. Too many of his lazy Hollywood habits have followed him home.
September 25, 2010
The handsomely mounted, heedlessly pulpy modernist World War II thriller that "The Good German" and "Valkyrie" failed to be - a dizzying rush of daring rescues, sexual intrigue, treachery, betrayal, gunfights, hasty conclusions and harrowing consequences.
January 15, 2008
There are a lot of plot twists at the end of the film, maybe too many, but it will keep you guessing.
September 01, 2007
A hard-core war film with raw violence, intense action, graphic sexuality and a twisting plot that offers a series of surprises.
April 18, 2008
A slick, thrilling, trashy, melodramatic and serialesque soap opera adventure which conceals the complex tale of moral ambiguity beneath.
