This underrated spy thriller, based on a foreign film, is well made. A well-rounded cast and a unique story for the genre.

Good performances but the ending was a bit poor - how is he not dead from old age and how can he be so hard to kill?!

Amazing story, great acting: a movie with depth. Recommended!

A tense, poignant spy thriller that had twists and turns from beginning to end.

Unique concept. Jessica Chastain and Helen Mirren were excellent in their roles.

Ugh. Not only is it depressing but it’s poorly told! Drags too much in parts and leaves plot holes. Regretted wasting my time on this one.

I found this movie very slow, seemed to take forever to come to the end. A real snoozer..

Good drama thriller with great acting, worth watching

Really great take on the nazi hunters after Nuremberg

The flashback portion is exciting, but when we come to the present things slow down considerably. So: successful w/ a side of frustration.
