I saw "Operation Finale", starring Oscar Isaac-He was Poe Dameron in the Star Wars movies, Ex Machina; Ben Kingsley-Ender's Game, Iron Man 3; Melanie Laurent-Now You See Me, Inglourious Basterds and Nick Kroll-Uncle Drew, Vacation_2015.
This movie is based on a true story about how a WW2 war criminal was brought to justice. Ben plays the SS officer Adolf Eichmann, who hid out in Argentina after the war. During the war, he was responsible for what was called, 'The Final Solution', which was basically the extermination of over 6 million Jews-some people like to refer to it as the Holocaust. A team of Israeli secret agents-aka, The Mossad-led by Oscar were the ones that hunted Ben down in the 1960's. Melani & Nick were on the team that wanted him to stand trial in Israel-they didn't want to kill him, well, some of them did, but most of them wanted him to have a trail and face what he had done. The story is pretty interesting, especially with the interrogation scenes and the escape maneuvers, but it is a little slow in parts. During the end credits, there are actual photos shown that were taken during the trial-which lasted about 8 months-so you can see what the real participants looked like.
It'a rated "PG-13" for violent images and language and has a running time of 2 hours & 2 minutes.
I don't think I would buy it on DVD-once was enough-but if you are a WW2 buff, it would be worth a rental.
