NEW YORK VIEW
That Paul (Showgirls) Verhoeven’s latest film is a WWII drama about a Dutch Jewish woman fleeing the Nazis may make some suspect that the legendary provocateur is aiming for respectability, but think again: This bloody, full-bodied thriller, with its tangle of double crosses, is a first-rate adventure, shot with the director’s characteristic immediacy and infused with more than a little of his taste for the perverse. It falls apart in the final act —but it keeps its viewer on edge for so long that any eventual missteps can be easily forgiven.
