Goofs:
Anachronisms: In the scene where the minister leaves the room after telling Avner that his father had been sent to Auschwitz by Eichmann, a large contemporary map of Europe is visible on the wall. The maps contains the re-unified Germany, the successor states of the Soviet Union, the broken up former Yugoslavia, and the split Czech and Slovak Republics - which is the late 1990s status and not 1960/61. more

An excellent film with a compelling performance from Kretschmann, 18 May 2008
10/10
Author: mc2-1 from Bucharest, Romania

I've seen this film and I thought it was very good. It reminds me of some of the movies made in the 70's which though essentially B movies rose to the status of great art. Films like "Charley Varrick" and "The Driver".

It has a great gutsy approach to storytelling in the mold of someone like Fuller, bold, teetering on cliché, but with an intimacy and great power.

The central performances are both compelling. Kretschmann is brilliant. Troy Garity provides a performance best in his blossoming career.

The films greatest power is in the detail. It unswervingly faces the sometimes overwhelming amount of information and puts it on the screen. Its the detail (in the script) and the refusal to avoid this in the dialogue that makes the film so hypnotic.
