We go play orbital catch around the curvature of the earth, son.
Spielberg has a long history of movies with nazis, much of them pulpy. So here comes along a true story about a man who masqueraded as a nazi to save as many Jews as he could.

The film does excellent justice to the awful memory of the holocaust, and borrows/homages countless noir and holocaust movies. It is a film with a message that should be heard by everyone - that even in the belly of inhumanity, there are those who would defy the tide of evil swelling around them simply because they know that it's the right thing to do.


Pros: Excellent cinematography. Excellent acting. Visually captivating. Emotionally involved. Beautifully scored. Terrifyingly true-to-history and true to its source material.

Cons: Um...another movie where nazis are rotten bastards? Okay, that's not exactly a con per se.

5.5/5
