During WWII, Rachel Steinn (Carice van Houten) is a Jewish singer forced to flee her home. After a daring escape, she sets up a new identity for herself to avoid being captured and killed by the Germans. Rachel then quickly joins the resistance and infiltrates a Nazi stronghold. But when the underground's plans are betrayed by a traitor within its own ranks, Rachel becomes the number one suspect.
What do the movies Robocop, Total Recall, Showgirls, and Starship Troopers have in common with Black Book?...They are all directed by Paul Verhoeven. Is there another director with a more diverse catalogue of films? Black Book is based on a true story. I find this hard to believe because the protagonist escapes death more than James Bond. However, Black Book is a good flick. At over 2 hours it kept my interest. Jamie says "8"....it helped greatly that Carice von Houten had a certain quality that made it difficult not to pay attention.
