I enjoyed this movie, but unfortunately I must say it was kind of formulaic and repetitive. I think that more artful devices could have been devised to present the guilt-wracked struggle within the counterfeiters' ranks.

The film could have dropped a good 1/2 hour of guilt-wracked nobility vs. self-preservation arguments and unnecessary close-calls in which our anti-hero saves someone's life. You don't need to keep establishing the same character traits when the film is 2/3rds over! Yet though I have issues with the shooting script, Die Fälscher was not so bad a film.

It was well-shot and acted (nothing really special though) and it passed the time during my flight to Thailand from Japan. :).
