CommentsXp Best movie ever!

muzzypatmn This movie was well done. Christopher Plummer, as always, was wonderful playing the demented man. Started out slow, but the ending was not what I expected. Shocking twist.

Michael Ledo Zev Gutman (Christopher Plummer) has severe dementia. Everyday he wakes up and rediscovers his wife Ruth has passed on. He still remembers most people including his son Charles (Henry Czerny) and good friend Max (Martin Landau). Max is wealthy and is in a wheel chair, although he has all of his marbles. He convinces Zev to hunt down Auschwitz block guard, now using the name Rudy Kurlander and kill him. The problem is that Zef forgets his task every time he goes to sleep and must rely on a lengthy letter Max has composed with detailed instructions. The other issue is that there are multiple people who might be Kurlander.Not since Michael Caine played Harry Brown have senior vigilantes so terrorized the world of entertainment. You feel sorry for Zev and you have to wonder about the revenge and justice factor for people in their nineties. The film has a virtually clueless twist that it springs on you. The acting was decent and the movie keeps you engaged as you not only wonder about the next encounter, but how Zev can make it through the day.Good drama.Guide: No swearing, sex, or nudity.

Stephen Conway Well what a surprise, my wife popped this on and I thought it would be less than average; however what a film. Excellent screenplay, superb acting, and beautiful cinematography. Slowly developed but yet perfectly paced. However, do yourself a favour - stop reading now and watch it; trust me you will not regret it.

rps-2 This is a gripping, powerful, original, magnificent film with a fist in the gut ending. I would rate it 12 or 15 if such were possible. Beautifully written, filmed, produced and acted with the incomparable and superb Christopher Plummer. It is unlike any holocaust film I have ever seen. There are so many bad movies out there it is a rare joy to experience a masterpiece like this!
