Operation Finale

El origen y el desarrollo de la operación, de apariencia simplista, muestran la gravedad del asunto político-criminal. Simplista en el sentido de demasiado género, retrato intencionado de los personajes para convertir el tema en una película apreciada por el público. Suspenso y escalofriante, como debería ser ante todo, pero no lo es mucho. Se gana el afecto del espectador más por su deslizamiento formal y su agradable reparto que por una experiencia dramática apasionante. Lo más destacado de la película son los diálogos íntimos entre Oscar Isaac y Ben Kingsley, ambos bien interpretados, pero ninguno deja una huella significativa en el espectador. Aun así, disfruté viéndolo, esperando a ver si se convertía en algo más atrevido y vigoroso. (30.10.2018)

If this substance got into Steven Spielberg's hands, it could have been a second Munich however, this doesn't mean Operation Finale is a bad film. Not at all. The story has something to say, it's very well shot and helps itself with great music by Alexander Desplat, and the acting cast is ruled by Ben Kingsley and Oscar Isaac, although the others - lesser known actors - are not bad at all, and they were fine in their small roles. We still need to be reminded of some things and this is a good reminder... whether they stick to the facts or not. (16.03.2019)

Adolf Eichmann seems to be an attractive topic for films, as I’ve already watched an eponymous movie about him. But I must say that this one is superior in terms of acting performances. Oscar Isaac, Ben Kingsley and Mélanie Laurent are a good casting incentive for you to watch a story of a monster whose brain was wired very differently from normal people, and make you think about what Eichmann said or did. He is comparable, in my opinion, for example to the person of Breivik. Plus, Ben Kingsley can add another period flick to his filmography. I’m bowing down before him. (21.05.2020)
