Review

The movie “2/11 – The game of wolf” about the murder of Theo van Gogh is much more credible than ’06 / 05 ‘, Van Gogh’s film about the murder of Pim Fortuyn. It is a skilful directed thriller that is sometimes a little too ambiguous

.

2/11 – The game of wolf

Our verdict: ★★★ ☆☆
Director: Thomas Korthals Altes
: Susan Visser, Pierre Bokma, Johan Leyssen
Duration: 25/9, Dutch Film Festival
Video: From October 2 EYE

Yet no bomb threat? It shot through the head when many visitors’ 2/11 – The game of the wolf an hour later than planned at the Dutch Film Festival premiered. Fortunately, the technical problems that the delay caused by the political thriller that shows what occurred after the murder of Theo van Gogh possible within the AIVD has played.

The film disputes the official version that Van Gogh’s killer Mohammed Bouyeri was a lone wolf, who appeared out of nowhere. He had long been in the crosshairs of the AIVD as an important figure in the Hofstad group, the terrorist group that bombings. Van Gogh was a victim of the plan of the AIVD to roll so that Bouyeri was not a priority. Hofstad all at once He was “collateral damage” says the chief executive of the AIVD (Johan Leyssen).

blundering
icy, emotionless officer put down the murder as the work of a loner and is also busy with concealing the blundering of his service. Taps calls within the Hofdstadgroep showing that Bouyeri (inter) national had contacts should disappear.

Opposite him is team leader Ellen (Susan Visser), which is shaken by the failures of the AIVD and the cynicism of her boss, who inpepert her that the interest of the state must always have priority. The truth does not matter. So the ‘wolf’ in the title also refers to the AIVD.

The game behind the scenes Ellen brings in a conflict of loyalties: to contribute to the lie or the truth for them? Unlike Van Gogh’s ’06 / 05 ‘(2004), that an implausible conspiracy theory about the murder of Fortuyn posits, is “2/11 – The game of wolf largely based on facts, so it is much more credible.

For exemplary
less strong that the characters in the skilful thriller directed by Thomas Korthals Altes quite unambiguous. The AIVD boss is a cynic, Ellen a sentimentalist, a senior official (Pierre Bokma) a callous jerk. Their judgments are just too typical. That people may say, confusing and contradictory things is not to be found in the script of Theodor Holman and Gijs van de Westelaken.

It does not mean that the film has now reached by the Chamber wants a new debate on the murder of Van Gogh

(By: Jos van der Burg) a great result though.
