3/4
The sad story of the United States' involvement in delaying the prosecution of war criminal Klaus Barbie, a.k.a. the Butcher of Lyon, for three decades is succinctly and painfully recalled in My Enemy's Enemy. Go to Full Review Nora Lee Mandel Maven's Nest 11/17/2011
7/10
Angry finger-pointing examination of how a Nazi war criminal influenced U.S. foreign policy for 40 years. . . Revealing look at torture history is even more relevant today. Go to Full Review Cynthia Fuchs PopMatters 03/11/2010
The "line of character" considered by the film is less Klaus Barbie's than the ideology and politics that shape Western activities, both official and covert, postwar and after. Go to Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews 03/10/2010

07/12/2011 Interesting Documentary on the butcher of Lyon. who bares the name Klaus BARBIE!! The name alone is incredibly intimidating! See more 02/28/2010 Well-made documentary about that evil butcher of Lyon, Klaus Barbie. He managed to escape from Germany and set up a whole new life in Bolivia. He was brought back to France more then 40 years after the war to face justice. See more 12/05/2008 One of the best documentaries I've seen so far. Shocking and revealing, a must see. See more 09/07/2008 I'm kinda tired of the second world war documentaries. This one was kinda interesting though. See more 08/09/2008 A must-see documentary about the life of nazi Klaus Barbie. Beats fiction by far. A Fourt Reich in the Andes? And he almost got away with it? Jeez. See more 06/14/2008 Un portrait terrible de la barbarie humaine à travers le 20eme siecle. Interessant et important. See more Read all reviews
