'OPERATION FINALE': Three Stars (Out of Five)
A historical drama about a team of Israeli secret agents that arrested, and brought to justice, one of the Nazi officers most responsible for the Holocaust. The film was directed by Chris Weitz, and written by Matthew Orton. It stars Oscar Isaac (who also served as a producer), Ben Kingsley, Melanie Laurent, Nick Kroll, Lior Raz and Haley Lu Richardson. The movie is a modest hit at the Box Office, but it's only gotten mixed reviews from critics. I found it to be well made, and acted, but it's also extremely slow-paced and lacking genuine suspense. The film is educational at least though.
