Too long exposition to reach to the trial. The danish sequences are poor compared with what follows. Danish wants to strip its nordisk guilt; its obvious.

Company commander Claus M. Pedersen (Pilou Asbæk) and his men are stationed in an Afghan province. Meanwhile back in Denmark Claus' wife Maria (Tuva Novotny) is trying to hold everyday life together with a husband at war and three children missing their father. During a routine mission, the soldiers are caught in heavy crossfire and in order to save his men, Claus makes a decision that has grave consequences for him - and his family back home.

"24.11. Netflix Tehokas tarina vastuunkannosta vituilleen menneessä kaaoksessa ja muunnellun totuuden vaikutuksista persoonaan. Moraalin hetkellisen alenemisen oikeudessa hyväksyy hämmentävän helposti, koska hyvä äijä ja todella vaikea taistelutilanne. Elokuvallisesti ei omaperäisintä sotakuvausta - tanskalaisjoukkokaan ei tuo mitään eksotiikkaa totuttuun, sikälimikäli sellaista nyt edes tarvisi - mutta uskottavuus on näissä aina kova juttu."

"Really realistic feeling war drama. This felt really similar to the documentaries I've watched about the Afghanistan and Irak Wars. There were good performances in this from Pilou Asbæk and Tuva Novotny especially."
