Good movie (for adults) about a Dutch Jewish woman losing her family to the Nazis and working undercover with the Dutch resistance. Very violent, lots of graphic nudity that may make teens uncomfortable. it's a gripping tale, engrossing, dark. But definitely not for your kids.

Excellent movie, but parents be warned - the nudity is graphic. That's probably my one complaint about Black Book - some of the nudity felt gratituous. Aside from that, a fantastic and completely engrossing movie. Definitely a must-see if you're not too offended by nudity.

The somber story of WWII reduced to a popcorn flick
Palu Vorhefen, who brought us Starship Troopes and Total Recall has now returned to his roots as a Dutch filmaker. And yet, not much as changed. The film really reminded me of starship Troopers: It is very entertaining and engrossing. It is fun. Just like Starship Troopers, there are hints at much deeper, darker, areas that the film chooses not to explore. But that's fine. We have seen the respectful, somber take on WWII many man times. Black Book offers a nice relief.
