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)

Dutch people fully demonstrate that historical epic films are no longer just the domain of American production, but other countries can handle them without any problems, and in a quality that is sometimes stunning. The naval battles here are truly great, at times a bit too melodramatic, but surprisingly it didn't matter that much. It belongs to biographical films. Excellent.

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.
