As Austrian Jews living in the Ukraine at the beginning of World War II, Simon Wiesenthal (Ben Kingsley) and his family are captured by Nazis and sent to live in a series of prison camps, where Wiesenthal cheats death several times. When he is liberated from Mauthausen in 1945, Wiesenthal provides vital information to the Americans in the Nuremberg War Trials and dedicates his life to hunting down Nazi war criminals, even though doing so comes at a cost to his family.

A good performance from Ben Kingsley. A less good performance from everyone else. The Nazi prison guards were the worst, with their cheesy attempts to seem sinister and threatening coming off so badly that I actually felt sorry for them. Not exactly the emotion the filmmakers had in mind.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars
