It's a very nice theme; Survive by befriending your enemy.
But it's quite a challenge to make a film interesting based on this true story because you can't just add things to it. All the more so because the story itself is already paper thin, let alone has a storyline.
The strength of the film must then lie in the characters and the psychological processes.
And that's exactly where the film falls short. No matter how difficult and how realistic the approach talks have been put down; Cinematically, that's not interesting, at least not enough.
I also had a 'nova zembla' feeling. It had to be cold, but sometimes I didn't feel the cold at all.
Maybe it was the director, maybe the actors' mediocrity... I thought the film was very mediocre.

Sympathetic but somewhat simplistic developed war film, about the forced cooperation between a number of English and German pilots who crashed in the wilderness of Norway. Nice roles from all involved and entertaining enough, but the limited setting and the superficial approach of the little in-depth script stand in the way of a really good review.
