Rating: - Another fine performance by Ben Kingsley
A rarely referenced gem. If you want to know a little about the real personal effects of the Holocaust, rent or buy this film.
Rating: - The Power to Change the World Begins By Changing Hearts & Minds...
I will never forget this film as long as I live. I was fifteen years old the first time that I watched it. I'd visited my fathers house for the summer and was sitting in the living room by myself watching a little "cable". Having seen the trailer for it I was hooked and felt that it was something that I just had to see. The afternoon it was broadcast I intentionally watched it all by myself. I was moved to tears by the shear horror and sadness that I watched unfold onscreen. It profoundly shaped my perception of right and wrong. Imagine, all it took for this to happen was for good people ... Read More
Rating: - Why is this movie not on DVD!!! Extrememly powerful & moving testimony.
This has got to be one of the most underrated & least known Holocaust films, and yet it has a first rate performance of an Oscar winning actor, Sir Ben Kingsley (also of Schindler's List). This is the movie based on Simon Weisenthal's memoirs, one of the most coveted heros of our time. GET THIS OUT ON DVD!!!! This is a great film that was made for HBO, but the production values and the writing could have allowed it to be a major motion picture. I put it up there with many great recent Holocaust and WWII films, such as "Schindler's List" and "The Pianist." This is an absolutely mezmorizing ... Read More
Rating: - Better than the first
The reviews I read said it wasn't as good as the original. As usual, they were wrong (in my opinion). Good cast, good acting and a good story line. Probably wasn't as politically correct as it should have been, but I go for quality, not others opinion. Worth the watch.
Rating: - Very powerful - Seek justice not vengeance
This is a true story of one of the most honored men in the past century. Simon Weisenthal set out his life after surviving the death concentration camps to catch the criminals in charge. His dedication demonstrates the power of human will to triumph evil.
May we never forget about the Holocaust was his goal. I pray to keep it that way and say: Never Again.
Though not directly in the film, from a contemporary political perspective, one can only realize the necessity of a Jewish state (Israel), which was formed from the ashes of the Holocaust, to protect its own people throughout ... Read More
