The movie is a very straight-forward re-telling of history with slight dramatization near the end to add "suspense". The cast did a great job, No doubt about it, but a good cast can only lift sub-par material up so much.

The perfect movie to show in an 11th grade history class, some of the drama (and craziness of the real-life story) gets lost in the slow pacing of the film, but it is still a well-acted and well-intentioned piece.

If you're a fan of WW2 or historical biopics, this isn't a bad movie. The cast was pretty great, and there were moments of gritty emotion and graphic scenery (as with any holocaust related film).

The cast was pretty great, and there were moments of gritty emotion and graphic scenery (as with any holocaust related film). It just didn't hit the hammer on the head for me in terms of diving into more of the key players in Eichmann's capture. Still good enough to watch if you're into the genre.… Expand

Oh my. Where to start with this movie. How to not make a movie about justice for everyone killed in the Holocaust.

It starts with this intro song that sounds like Tim Burton composed, it while watching Belle and Beast. It sounds as if theOh my. Where to start with this movie. How to not make a movie about justice for everyone killed in the Holocaust.

It starts with this intro song that sounds like Tim Burton composed, it while watching Belle and Beast. It sounds as if the composer thought the movie was a joke. With so many WWII documentaries out there with good scores, they choose this abomination?

The characters... my dear god. Adolf Eichmann played by Ben Kingsley is alright but 'Herr Captor' must have some nerve damage in his face considering he has the same expression on his face for about 2 hours. The most interesting character was probably Klaus Eichmann, as he shows what a young indoctrinated man can be like.

And that's where the movie made a mistake, because they show a Nazi Subculture in Argentine that is still as hatefull and fanatic as in the days of WWII. In fact, it would have made a far more interesting movie to see what they did in Argentine. This could even go into a fiction movie where Holocaust survivors commit terrorist strikes against these murderers of humanity.

The best summary for this movie would be: 'Wasted Potential and Insulting to the Holocaust.'

I give this movie a 5/10, it is an underwhelming movie.… Expand

Despite some odd casting choices this film is equal to the very similar Munich and The Debt.

I liked the work of Oscar Isaac and Ben Kingsley, but even in the face of what the film does well in handling this true story, what it offers in handling entertainment is merely ordinary and devoid of real emotion.

It may be counterproductive to say that such a story shouldn't be ''entertaining'' but this is still a movie and what it proposes is just ordinary.
Well made, but totally ordinary.… Expand

Operation Finale is a very interesting and pleasant film. However, the film has some flaws, first of all the unconvincing Oscar Isaac's acting. It is not a masterpiece but not a crap, recommended.
