SPOILER ALERT. the was is over. roland moller is a Danish sergeant in charge of a group of very young German soldiers, whose job it is to clear a section of the Danish beach of mines planted by the Germans in anticipation of the invasion. based on a true story. I have read a lot of books about the war but have never heard this one. unfortunately when you defuse mines, you tend to get blown up. we just don't know when. although you are never really surprised. I couldn't help but think about who fights wars-young men. an entire generation was almost wiped out in ww2. on both sides. roland moller is terrific as the sergeant and the guys playing the soldiers are very good. it's not a fun movie, and when the director lightens it up, we all pay. its not for the squeamish, let me just say that.
