The film is receiving high praise for its compelling story and thoughtful exploration of right and wrong. One critic described it as a thrilling and sometimes brutal movie, inspired by the true story of Norwegian hero Gunnar Sønsteby, that shows both the good and bad sides of people.
One reviewer described the film as a sensitive portrayal of Gunnar Sønsteby, Norway’s most decorated citizen, and his experiences during wartime. It explores the difficult moral choices people faced under occupation, contrasting the pursuit of justice with what was simply necessary to survive. The story moves between the past and present to highlight these themes.
One reviewer highlighted that the story beautifully shows how a single person’s commitment to their beliefs can have a significant impact, and how even ordinary individuals can be part of something much larger than themselves.
People are really enjoying ‘Number 24’ because it’s historically accurate, emotionally moving, and features great acting. The film follows a brave character who faced difficult ethical dilemmas in a challenging situation, and it highlights how a single person can make a real difference.
