Preview: Eichmann (2009)

Synopsis:

A German lawyer is set to the task of exposing Eichmann as a World War II war criminal after his carefully plotted participation in the slaughter of millions of Jews.

• Poster: C-

Review:

A black-and-white still from a color film isn't always a bad idea, but the presentation here makes it seem like it. The plain black background, bold title letters and minute red names make for an all-too-simple, all-too-boring design.

• Trailer: B

Review:

Although the production company should give one pause, the concept is certainly interesting. Anyone who tires of always being exposed to the maniacal homocidal tendencies of Adolf Hitler might appreciate a story being told about of the other influential characters involved in the Holocaust.

Oscar Prospects:

It's far too small a film and, although it would easily appeal to the Holocaust voting bloc, I doubt they will even get to this film in order to give it a shot.

Release Date:
