Excellent movie great acting with a verywith a very good plot. It might seem a little Slow but it seems to be going at the age of the actor. Great performance!
... View MoreThis film succeeds on multiple levels, at least one of which might be unexpected. Perhaps. It is an intriguing tale that goes well beyond the basic human interest story it at first appears to be. An outstanding performance by Christopher Plummer accompanied by strong support from Martin Landau. Two old war horses still at it, competently. Look past a bit of a slow start then buckle up for a bumpy ride.
... View MoreZev Gutman (Christopher Plummer) has severe dementia. Everyday he wakes up and rediscovers his wife Ruth has passed on. He still remembers most people including his son Charles (Henry Czerny) and good friend Max (Martin Landau). Max is wealthy and is in a wheel chair, although he has all of his marbles. He convinces Zev to hunt down Auschwitz block guard, now using the name Rudy Kurlander and kill him. The problem is that Zef forgets his task every time he goes to sleep and must rely on a lengthy letter Max has composed with detailed instructions. The other issue is that there are multiple people who might be Kurlander.Not since Michael Caine played Harry Brown have senior vigilantes so terrorized the world of entertainment. You feel sorry for Zev and you have to wonder about the revenge and justice factor for people in their nineties. The film has a virtually clueless twist that it springs on you. The acting was decent and the movie keeps you engaged as you not only wonder about the next encounter, but how Zev can make it through the day.Good drama.Guide: No swearing, sex, or nudity.
