Russia will NEVER invade Norway WITHOUT US and EU approval. Thus the premise of the movie is good, Russia invades Norway to Secure Norwegian oil for the EU. I can see the Russian objections unless the movie clearly shows it is a EU desire not a Russian desire.

When I first read the headline, I thought the movie would be an attack on Russia, but instead it is more an attack on the EU with the understanding that the EU will NOT want to do the dirty work themselves and will "pay" Russia to do it for them (Or pay someone else, i.e. the US to do it for them). Remember Russia does NOT need Norway's oil and Natural Gas, but the EU does and always follow the money.
