Operation
Finale is an extremely well-acted true story film held back due to some pacing
issues. This movie is about the true story of Israeli secret agents who tracked
down Adolf Eichmann, the architect of the Holocaust. Oscar Issac gives a
terrific performance. He is able to add multiple layers to a very
straightforward character. Ben Kingsley gives a fantastic performance. The
scenes with just him and Issac talking are among the film’s best. Melanie
Laurent and Haley Lu Richardson both give really good performances in their
smaller roles. Chris Weitz did a great job directing. He mostly succeeds at
keeping the tension high. The script is really good, though drags some moments
on for too long. At 122 minutes the movie moves at an okay pace, but slows down
too much in its third act. Overall Operation Finale is an extremely good movie
but does not reach greatness.
7.5/10
