Quand les Provinces-Unies sont attaquées par le Royaume-Uni, la France et l'Allemagne et que le pays lui-même est au seuil d'une guerre civil, un seul homme peut mener l'arme la plus puissante du pays, la flotte néerlandaise : Michiel de Ruyter. (Mediawan)
Critiques (3)
It would never occur to me that the Dutch would make a European blockbuster with everything it entails. Does a similar genre actually exist?

If the ending hadn’t desperately tried to appeal to the viewers’ emotions, the film would have deserved five stars. The 130-minute running time was by no means a waste of time. Never have I seen such epic and beautifully filmed ship-of-the-line warfare. This was some masterful filmmaking on the part of the Dutch. In the moments between exciting action, intrigue was in full swing. The family matters did slightly slow it down, though. The writers bent history to their own image. But, compared to Pearl Harbor it’s like comparing a diamond to a piece of excrement. A truly excellent, epic, and beautiful film.

The Dutch show that historical films are not only the domain of American productions anymore, but that other countries can also make them without any problems, and in a quality that is at times stunning. The naval battles here are really great, also pathetic in places, but surprisingly that didn't matter so much. It belongs in a biopic. This is excellent.
