6What people say
This is a Holocaust movie from the writer of Sony Marvels Amazing Spider-Man and Independence Day Resurgence, and it feels like it. The protagonist, a military psychologist, is introduced as a leather clad, smart mouth womanizer with a magic gimmick. This is a character in a movie about the Nuremberg trials. The cast is also constantly Marvel quipping in a movie about the Nuremberg trials. I swear to god a general says to the Nazi high Command in a dramatic closeup “ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Nuremberg”. I commend the inclusion of the actual holocaust footage, but imagine if they included real footage from the holocaust in Michael Bays Pearl Harbour movie. There are a few great performances, Micheal Shannon is great during the trial, Russel Crowe is great, and the movie does pick up in the latter half, but god the Director just couldn’t help himself with the cheese. Every character has a sequence where they hurriedly run in from the pouring rain in the middle of the night to deliver a revelation, it happens 4 times, THATS CINEMA BABY.
and, in an entirely seated role, Russell Crowe
