So much average
I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
This movie reminded me the other one, "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas". Besides both stories were setting in Nazi area, there are not much in common. However, the originality and creativity of their unique storyline might put them into the same category. Nevertheless, I preferred this one better. "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas" did not resonate with me in the same way as this one. The likelihood of this movie happened in real live might be possible. That intrigued me. The settings and scenarios are well though out. It is not much to be elaborated. But it would surprise audience with its ending. I am not so impressed by "The Boy in the Striped Pajama". The main reason is from the start you already could tell how it would end . The tragedies were well written every step away. I would not suggest parents to let young kids to watch it because of the cruel ending. It will terrify them. This one is better plotted to its ending. Although its ending might not be pleasant, it was logically unfolding.Watch it and you will not be disappointed.
Simply amazing well written,directed. Mr. Plummer , Landau and the rest of the cast were awesome. I give it 2 thumbs up.
Both Christopher Plummer and Martin Landau are excellent actors (ML in the past tense since he passed away in the summer of 2017). It is amazing when men - particularly men of their age - can deliver such riveting performances. The story is spellbinding and the ending is very much a surprise. But it is the acting of the two gentlemen Plummer and Landau that should recommend this film to anyone who enjoys solid acting and complete immersion in their characters. A shout out also to Dean Norris for his 15 minutes or so of screen time. Very well acted.Anyone who has a smattering of knowledge of the Nazi concentration camps should appreciate this movie. And even those who don't should appreciate it for its excellent acting.
I wasn't sure what to think of this movie when I started watching it. I had no idea what was coming. It is a fabulous movie from beginning to end. It is definitely a new twist on the subject of WWII, Nazis and the extermination of the Jews. Watch it now and don't talk to anyone who has seen it until you have!
