Good Idea But Not a Great Movie

I really like movies about WW2 Europe because I am fascinated by lack compassion the Nazis had... that they couldn't see the Jews as people. That having been said, the story line is great... Ben Kingsley is in it... it would have to be a good movie, right? Nope. Ben isn't in it too much and a lot of the acting seemed over the top to me. It isn't always clear what is going on... the accents are thick and at least for me, hard to understand. Also, everyone looks a bit too clean... I mean, none of it is in a concentration camp, but they still look a little too pulled together. It wasn't a horrible movie... just not great. I almost paid $4 to watch it on Amazon, but I thought to check to see if my library had it, and they did, so I saw it for free. If I'd had to pay for it, I would have given it a much lower rating.
