There's a lot of dense plot and legal jargon to compress, but punchy editing ensures the film remains fast-paced and light on its feet. Go to Full Review

Rosana B Dec 28 O filme demora a engrenar, mas ganha contornos dramáticos na sua segunda metade, o julgamento. E se torna revoltante, como pessoas tão más sobrevivem tanto tempo e na riqueza, diante da miséria dos que sobreviveram aos seus Homicídios… O pano de fundo histórico iluminado pela obra é a prevenção do processo de crimes nazistas graves pelo judiciário da República Federal da Alemanha devido a uma lei de 1968, conhecida como escândalo de prescrição. Revoltante, emocionante, chocante e instrutivo... See more Dominic B 02/03/2024 Intense and involving. See more Tiago S 12/22/2022 Um dos filmes mais impactantes que já assisti, um mistério no julgamento que é revelado no final, que depois de tudo ser falado nos emocionamos com muitas lágrimas nos olhos, é triste de ver a brutalidade do Nazismo, bem vou parar por aqui se não irei dizer tudo sobre o filme, mas recomendo demais para quem gosta de julgamentos e justiça sendo feita. See more 11/13/2021 Es una buena película que tiene una trama entretenida y la actuación de Elyas M'Barek es excelente; es muy recomendable. See more 01/25/2021 Bom Filme, Misterioso, que nos prende a atenção a medida que os desfechos são dosadamente revelados, boas atuações principalmente por parte do protagonista (Elyas M'Barek), só não me agradou a cena final o filme no geral não cosegue comover o bastante para apresentar aquela cena e fazer com que nos emocione o suficiente, mais isso não tira os méritos desse bom filme! See more s r @ScottR 11/20/2020 A court room drama setting up the horrible Nazi protectors against a novice lawyer was good. However, it was a little cheap on the drama and it after awhile it seemed hollow. It still had it moments, but was a little self righteous. I saw it on a delta flight. See more Read all reviews
