Jon Voight is one of Hollywood's best actors. DVD review.
A journalist hunts down a Nazi war criminal but his motives are unclear.
I didn't expect this movie to be so good. It's extremely watchable. If you want to see where Spielberg got his Schindler's List influences then this is the movie to watch. Strange that the concentration camp scenes are all in German but the present (1964) scenes (also set in Germany) are in English. Many good tense scenes: the fight in the mill, the kidnapping, the interview and the confrontation with Schell. One of those movies with a different location for each new scene.
Watch this Nazi hunter movie. It's superb.
