Staatsgevaarlijk

Blonde Nicolette and Moroccan Mohammed have just moved into a small house in Rotterdam. While they are still unpacking their moving boxes, a huge explosion occurs in the ports of the world's second largest port city. Rotterdam makes world news, especially since the authorities assume that it could be a terrorist attack. That same evening, Nicolette and her boyfriend are taken from their bed by a heavily armed raid team. Thanks to her father, who is a lawyer, Nicolette is soon released. Mohammed, on the other hand, is being held under heavy security because he is suspected of involvement in the attack. His small IT company supplied the software that may have led to the explosions. For Nicolette, the search for her boyfriend and the truth begins. Was there really a terrorist attack in Rotterdam, or was it just an accident?

Directed by Marcel Visbeen, Staatsgevaarlijk leans on a strong ensemble — Sylvia Hoeks, Pierre Bokma, Romijn Conen — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about thriller titles of 2005.
