The premise for the movie is excellent--there is an organization called "ODESSA" that helps ex-Nazis change their identities to avoid prosecution. Jon Voight is a reporter who stumbles upon this organization and infiltrates it with the help of the Mossad (Isreali secret service). Eventually, he unravels the key to destroying Odessa (about 80% into the movie) and from that point on, the movie takes a bit of a wrong turn. Instead of going to the proper authorities to get help, he goes off on his own to confront one particular Nazi. This didn't make sense until he explains WHY he did this. The explanation made some sense but seemed so incredibly improbable that it helped undermine an otherwise excellent movie. I hate plot holes or amazingly improbable coincidences in movies.
