Review of The Counterfeiters (2007) by Bree V — 02 Sep 2008
Starting in France after WWII, you are able to see the reaction of others to the main characters being a survivor of a concentration camp. From there the movie flashes back to the true story of the most successful counterfeiting ring in history, which was perpetrated by the Nazis in an attempt to prolong the war by glutting England with counterfeit pound notes, and later the attempt to do the same to the American dollar.
This movie is wonderful, moving and you care for the characters. They are some of the best treated prisoners of a concentration laid to film, even with this their misery and suffering is not diminished.
Probably one of my top ten movies from 2007 if I redid the list.
