Die Spionin

It was truly a rollercoaster of emotions! This movie was raw and beautiful and I loved every second of it! <3<3<3

Just finished watching "The Spy" on World Movies Channel. The review gave it 4 Stars but when I consulted IMDB its rating was only 6.1, about average. Was in two minds whether to watch or not. In the end, my wife and I decided to watch it and yes a few mis-spellings in the subtitles if you are observant, but overall, we thought it a very good and riveting movie. The lead, Ingrid Bolso Berdal was very good and was able to enunciate the feelings of being caught or trapped in the middle very well - to be portrayed as a traitor, watching friends being killed but trying all the while to be a patriot and elicit information from the Germans to pass to Swedish authorities. All the cast did well in their parts and the film deserves a much higher rating than it actually got on average. We were almost in tears at the end that her due story was not made available until much later; how she would have suffered throughout her later life due to public ignorance of her true situation. We gave it a strong 8/10 and would thoroughly recommend it, if you get a chance to see it.

Exciting story that is also true. Rolf Lassgård is really good.

No pun intended - and not really like you (and me). Especially considering the stakes and the time this plays. On the other hand this is based on something real - whether it stays true to facts is another story (again no pun intended) and something I cannot be certain about to be honest.

There are many things surrounding the second world war - and a lot of stories too. You cannot know all of them I reckon. The tension this movie creates is off the charts for sure. The acting is also very good to say the least. The stakes are high - and as you may imagine there are a lot things that can go wrong ... but will they? You have to watch ... nail biting at times and never failing to excite. We of course know who the bad guys are ... which helps.

Enjoyed it, and another unsung hero from World War 2 whose story should be told.

Ingrid Bolso Berdal was very good in the lead role as Sonja
