About Based on the final confession from the most wanted man in the world, Nazi criminal Adolf Eichmann, before his execution in Israel as he accounts to a young Israeli Police Officer his past as the architect of Hitler's plan for the final solution 15 years after World War II. Eichmann must be broken down so the truth be told.
My 5 cents Hard not to think about today's shock tactics used on captured enemies and one suspects torture wasn't any lenient a couple of decades ago. Without a doubt Eichmann was a bad man, and deserve what he got and we're grateful he was caught, but I can't see too many people keen on watching this for two hours. Reviews have mentioned it could have worked better as a doco and many events have been fabricated. Comparisons, Valkyrie and The Pianist.
Recommendation Short, the films overall story feels limited in who will want to see this type of film. The cast for this type of movie does look good on paper however reviews have been marred due to their poor accents and the film seems to fall short of what its trying to accomplish.
