Lack of good storyline.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

FLAME & CITRON wants to be a Danish ARMY OF SHADOWS, but lacks the skill or the insight. It tells the story of two real-life Danish resistance heroes, who operated as assassins against the German occupiers and Danish collaborators. The film wants to go beyond patriotic hyperbole though, by pointing out that the resistance groups themselves could be self-interested or wrong, and that assassination was still often cold, ugly murder. This is commendably mature but the storytelling isn't up to it; instead it's long-winded and dull. The film mistakes faces in shadow, pill popping and sweat for character but it isn't; their internal lives are never illuminated, so it's hard to care. The film finally ends with a big, silly, over the top shoot-out.

Madsen is a very good actor. I had high hopes for this film before seeing it.The film is about two Danish resistance fighters during the 2nd world war.The plot circles around the head of the resistance who claims to be taking orders from London. A subplot is that of a romantic relationship with a courier.The storyline was very confusing and chaotic. The film consisted of a lot of shooting. Would not recommend this film.

It's a convenient myth that in any war, people are just the unfortunate casualties of the pursuit of military objectives. But often, the military objective is the killing of people. 'Flame and Citron' tells the story of two fighters in the Danish resistance, who systematically kill collaborators with the occupying Nazis. Potentially, it's a rich subject, and it also explores themes of loyalty and trust. But there's something of a boys-own adventure feel to it, with improbable escapes, an endless succession of slayings, fairly thin motivation and the relative moral ease with which it's possible to endorse the resistance over the Germans. It's an entertaining yarn, but it didn't quite convince me that this is exactly what being in the resistance would have been like; while I've seen deeper explorations of collaboration and treachery elsewhere.

The first thing I noticed when watching Flame and Citron was the directing, more precisely the camera angels, and acting. The main character, Flame (played by Thure Lindhardt), looked awesome in almost every shot and his partner Citron (Mads Mikkelsen) did an amazing job acting as well. This movie has a lot of good life lessons, and moral warnings.I liked the fact that it was based on true events. This makes it possible to look at the movie from a more realistic point of view. Flame and Citron encourages one to question life and reason in general from a realistic view rather than question the movie it's self. This all in accordance with war time events of course, and resistance fighters.I looked into the history behind the movie and it's neat to know that they have statues built in Denmark to commemorate these brave underground soldiers.
