Enjoyable movie with allot of white knuckle twists and turns throughout and a reveal that would make you want to see it at least another time. It comes across like some sort of true story but it's essentially a fictional Nazi-hunter type…

This movie took a while to get interesting. But was worth the wait. Fine performance by Helen Mirren. I found Tom's performance trite. The female characters were the most tautly and believably played. The Nazi Doctor was malevolently…

A very good thriller about young Israeli Mossad agents capturing a Nazi doctor and getting him out of East Berlin in the early 1960's; what went wrong and how they lived after the mission. Excellent cast, story and plot. Thrilling,…

A solid movie about the capture of a Nazi doctor in 1960 and its subsequent public perception and legend. A very well done thriller and story. Helen Mirren & fellow actors are great.

Directed by John Madden in 2010 as a British-American remake of the 2007 Israeli film, this thriller delves into the mission to capture Nazi war criminal Dieter Vogel infamously known as "The Surgeon of Birkenau" for his medical…

A very good film! Well acted, well written, well directed and is historical fiction tense drama. The story is revealed through present day events, mixed with 30 year-old flash backs, which makes the three main character acted by two sets…

Suspenseful story, but something's missing in the telling. It's hard to put your finger on it, but I was left not really caring enough about the main characters, perhaps because of its "revenge is necessary" plot. Also, not all the…

A bit difficult to follow at times but a decent movie. No awards for this one but at the end found it to come together.

I like this movie verrrry much. I like the idea, the characters and, of course, the ending. This movie is about a woman named Rachel, who was sent on a mission 20 years ago with two men David and Stephan. The reason that they were sent was…

Very good and well acted movie. Helen Mirren is fantastic, as always. I found this movie to be believable and I sympathize with people who did the work they did and the secrets they had to keep.

Good writing but the plot was a little hard to follow. Cast uniformly good.

It's far-fetched to think that three people who've joined the Mossad, an organization whose stock in trade is dishonesty--see e.g. the Lavon Affair or ask Mordechai Vanunu or Victor Ostrovsky--would be so troubled by the truth. The main…

I knew nothing of the original movie or the story. In spite of the negative comments, it was a heart stopper movie for me. This is a true suspense movie, whether the story is true or not. I chose it because Helen Mirren was in the…

Another instance where the SPL catalog staff has failed to properly catalog the languages of a film in the collection: The catalog entry states the film is in English; nearly half of the film is in German and a smaller portion is in…

Clearly a hit piece on the Mossad, this movie has led some to think it was based on true events, which it was not. I was quite saddened to see a great actress such as Helen Mirren involved in this shameful scheme to denigrate the brave…

This is an English remake of the Israeli film of the same name. I thought that the original was a little more tense in the stalking scenes in the second half. And I liked a couple of the Hitchcockian techniques that were included in the…

As somebody who had not seen the original, I liked this one. It takes a few good twists that certainly keeps one guessing. I recommend.

Not very good - boring!
