Black Book (2006) starring Carice van Houten. Near the end of World War II, a beautiful Jewish woman named Rachel Stein (van Houten) is hiding out in Holland from the Nazis. When her plan to escape goes terribly wrong, she manages to take on a new identity and infiltrate the enemy. She hooks up with the Dutch Resistance -- but of course the Nazis refer to the Resistance as "terrorists." This movie builds tension quickly and efficiently at the beginning, with scarcely a dull moment. Directed by Paul Verhoeven ("Basic Instinct," "Total Recall").
Grade: B+
