I wasnโt really sure what to expect from this flick but since there was a really nice cast involved, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, I thought it was actually pretty good. I mean, on one hand, the story was completely preposterous and, to be honest, it didn't make much sense but, on the other hand, during WWII, the Nazis did many things which didn't much make sense at all with the terrible consequences that we all know. Thus, what happened in the movie somehow actually followed their neurotic and psychotic way of thinking. However, even with this analysis, there were still a few annoying scenes (like, for example, the scene involving confrontation between Mengele and Lieberman really didnโt work in my opinion). Anyway, all in all, it was a good flick thanks to some competent directing, some awesome actors who delivered some really decent performances (Gregory Peck, Laurence Olivier and James Mason) and the story was maybe horrifying but also rather fascinating. To conclude, even though the whole thing never reached the level of a masterpiece, it was still a decent historical thriller and I think it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.ย
