Yea, I've seen it. And I'm pretty sure KAV saw it too. It's one of the biggest succeses of norwegian film ever, not saying that that means much... Norwegian movies tend to be pretty "niche-oriented". This one is pretty good though. There were a cpl of resistance groups trying to get back on the occupants, and the group that portrayed here was trained in England/Scotland and under command from London. The other groups were of a more "rouge" character and did sabotage on german targets even before '43. The most famous was "Pellegruppa" and "Osvaldgruppa".
The movie "Max Manus" is absolutely worth a cpl of hours attention. Brave men and nice pics from Oslo. The cast is pretty okay too, and it is fairly true to the actual history. One of the men; Gunnar Sønsteby aka Nr.24 or "Kjakan", is actually still alive and kicking. I saw him in town a cpl of weeks ago.
Enjoy!
