Flame & Citron

FLAME & CITRON (2008) - Sept. 9, 2008
A well directed but somewhat dull movie about a team of assassins working for the resistance in World War II era Denmark. The film is stylishly directed by Ole Christian Madsen, and features some striking cinematography, but it ultimately fails to hold the viewer's interest for the whole 130 minute running time. There are some really exciting scenes here, and the whole thing is certainly well acted and well made, but the film is undone by its somewhat repetitive nature and the lack of really compelling characters (even the titular Flame and Citron never really become people we care all that much about). **1/2
