Based on real events, this hunt for nazi criminals after WW2 is above average due to the exception portrayal of Eichmann by Ben Kingsley. He just nails the sentiment of many of the nazi perpetrators that they did nothing wrong as it was war.

This movie is good to see for it's historical significance. It was done well enough, I guess, but still seemed to lag in some places. I appreciated the attempted artistic flare. It helped a little with trying to put the audience in the shoes of the victims, but this is a topic where that could seldom be possible. Nonetheless, if you really try and if you honestly consider the plight then it is quite harrowing in many respects. What is most striking to me are all the arguments in this movie that justify what Eichmann did. They are the same arguments of modern day relativism - which may be most frighting of all.

1960. Israeli agents get a tip-off that Adolph Eichmann, the architect of Hitler's Final Solution, is living in Argentina. They assemble a team to extract him and bring him to Israel to stand trial as a mass murderer.

Interesting true story. Shows how the Mossad investigated the possibility that Eichmann was living in Argentina, how they positively identified him and the planning and execution of getting him to Israel. While you know the result, if you know history, it still makes for very intriguing watching. This is especially as there was a large amount of danger involved in the operation - there was a large element of Nazis and Nazi sympathisers living in Argentina and they had significant influence over the government.

The historic element makes this quite edifying viewing too.

Great work by Ben Kingsley as Eichmann. Oscar Isaac puts in a solid performance as Peter Malkin, senior Mossad agent.

The story is amazing, the acting was phenominal... and this film was just ok.  I was a little disappointed to read that while most of the story is authentic some characters were made up (why the love story?) and the mission was somewhat exaggerated (I am going by quotes of those that participated).  That said... we must never forget what happened.

A reasonably compelling film, and yet another sobering reminder of the Nazi atrocity. I didn't know a lot about Eichmann's arrest, and assuming the version of events is played out accurately here, it is quite a gripping story. I want to say 'may the likes of Eichmann never be seen again,' but as we all know, our world is still filled with these despots, committing evil for the sake of misplaced ideology.

I think the storyline is very interesting. My problem is that it's not executed well. The film goes through extended periods where it just lags. This definitely could've been done a lot better. Oh well.

I rate the movie 6 of 10, the film is too easy to watch, taking in mind the historic background.

Important history as it is one of not many to show Argentina’s role after the war in housing these war criminals but plays more as a focudrama and,less cinematic feature.

The real story about Eichmann is something truly unbelievable: a high nazi escaped to Argentina and a team of secret agents has to get him back. But don't expect a big chase, apparently it's hard to mix all things up in a compelling movie. It has parts which are quite boring to be honest.

Ben Kingsley is a good actor. However movie lost itself between being documentary and drama film and nothing good come from it.
