Technically any good? Unbelievably solid. I would have liked a larger scope for the film, but th 3rd Reich's last few years still made for an interesting film. I wish the director would have made an epic like Das Boot about this subject matter. The acting is amazing--almost every single actor nails the ambiguity of working for a man who was amoral in some ways and delusional in others. You can almost understand why they didn't stop him. Those same scenes provided a disturbing mirror to what must be going on these days inside the White House.
How did it leave me feeling? Depressed. There are some seriously heavy scenes in this film--child murder, suicide, and lots of delusional people absolutely convinced that what they were doing was right.
Final Rating? GSN - Go See Now - Excellent film. Just excellent (but not for kids, duh).
Orignal From: DOWNFALL (2004)
