There are several old and new movies dealing with Nazi Hunters, but for me the  gold standard has always been The Odessa File: great acting, great script and you are both learning and at the edge of your seat. Maybe it has to do with being based in the great book by Frederick Forsyth who also was involved in the script.

And last night the Love of My life and yours truly sat to watch Amazon’s Hunters. The movie started and I was bit disappointed that by the looks and overacting and really weird clothing and photography, this was not a serious thing but a parody, sort of Inglorious Bastards. Imagine my surprise when I found out it is a drama and not a comedy and with a demand for a overly elevated suspension of disbelief.

I tried very hard to watch it because it has Pacino in it and he acts, but his shoulders cannot carry such a bad project.  Even the kitschy 1978’s movie The Boy from Brazil runs laps around this grotesque production.

Hard pass on this one.
