Looks hilariously bad
- Lieke van Lexmond in a historic movie...Couldn't they have picked you know...A good actress? Someone who doesn't look like she'd belong in a soap or hockey team?
- Getting Charles Dance to phone it in with basically his Game of Thrones role.
- Guy from Jumbo commercial as Michiel de Ruiter.
- Using modern Dutch in a movie about the 17th century.
- Egbert Jan Weeber.
- The overall idea of trying to turn this historic figure into the hero of an "epic movie"
- The silly attempts at creating patriotic sentiment for a country that is pretty much characteristically devoid of patriotism.
- A director with only B-movies on his resume.
- Awful camera work.
I'm sad to say that Dutch attempts at epic movies just don't work. This will probably be torn apart by critics. Leave bombast to Hollywood, they're the only ones who know how to do it right. I kind of feel bad for the actors that they have to sell this piece of trash.
