Paul Verhoeven's memorial to the Dutch resistance movement in World War II — a big, sloppy, tasteless blockbuster. The director's special predilection for the physically disgusting is apparent as early as the freshman-hazing scene which opens the action, or at least as early as the moment in that scene when a bullying upperclassman ladles chicken noodle soup onto the shaven head of the hero, leaving scores of wormy little wet noodles clinging all over the fellow's whitish bald plate. There is an ample amount of the same, and worse, in the two hours and a half that follow. With Rutger Hauer, Edward Fox. (1979) — Duncan Shepherd
