Flame & Citron

2008 · 130 min

A somber, morally tangled wartime thriller that keeps you tense and heartsick as loyalties blur and violence costs more than it buys.

Tagline
Heroes will rise, Enemies will fall
Overview
Gunman Flame and his partner Citron assassinate Nazi collaborators for the Danish resistance. Assigned targets by their Allies-connected leader, Aksel Winther, they relish the opportunity to begin targeting the Nazis themselves. When they begin to doubt the validity of their assignments, their morally complicated task becomes even more labyrinthine.
