Review of Operation Finale (2018) by Berik — 19 Jan 2019
Oh my. Where to start with this movie. How to not make a movie about justice for everyone killed in the Holocaust.
It starts with this intro song that sounds like Tim Burton composed, it while watching Belle and Beast. It sounds as if the composer thought the movie was a joke. With so many WWII documentaries out there with good scores, they choose this abomination?
The characters... my dear god. Adolf Eichmann played by Ben Kingsley is alright but 'Herr Captor' must have some nerve damage in his face considering he has the same expression on his face for about 2 hours. The most interesting character was probably Klaus Eichmann, as he shows what a young indoctrinated man can be like.
And that's where the movie made a mistake, because they show a Nazi Subculture in Argentine that is still as hatefull and fanatic as in the days of WWII. In fact, it would have made a far more interesting movie to see what they did in Argentine. This could even go into a fiction movie where Holocaust survivors commit terrorist strikes against these murderers of humanity.
The best summary for this movie would be: 'Wasted Potential and Insulting to the Holocaust.'
I give this movie a 5/10, it is an underwhelming movie.
