Review of Operation Finale (2018) by Ginak — 28 Aug 2018

I found the first half of Operation Finale a bit dull, but once Eichmann was captured, the film became riveting. Although the cast was generally very good, it wasn’t until Ben Kingsley as Eichmann entered a cat-and-mouse game with Peter Malkin (Oscar Isaac) over signing a document that was needed before Eichmann could be flown out of Argentina that the film became really suspenseful.

The tense El Al take-off at the airport was also a nail-biter. I was also lucky enough to be in an audience of serious adults who paid as much attention as I did and finished eating before the movie started.
