Trivia:
In one of the scenes, Gregers jokes about his own death by saying "if anything goes wrong this time, please shed a tear for me. And make sure my statue is erected at a suitable place - by the city hall for instance". This quote is taken from a letter Gregers wrote to Tikken just a few weeks before he died. In 1995 Max was present when a bust of Gregers was erected outside the Njaard hall in Oslo. more
Goofs:
Continuity: In the scene in the hospital in Stockholm where Max learns that Gregers is dead, his tank top moves between the far left and the far right of his shoulder between shots. more

Awesome ww2 movie!, 29 December 2008
8/10
Author: Tom Erik Høiås from Norway

Awesome film based on a true story about a small but significant resistance group in Oslo Norway during WW2. and the most prolific member is Max Manus with his daring operations and back breaking escapes from the Nazi's. in terms of Norwegian films in general ,this film differs from the rest because of it's massive budget and interesting source material. the thing that really surprised me was the detail and skill of the cgi effects from making Oslo look like it did 60 years ago to various explosions and action sequences. foremost this film is for people familiar with the story's of Max Manus and his daring exploits. Aksel Hennie did a great job portraying Manus. i didn't like Hennie before but i do now. A must see for any Norwegian or war enthusiast.
