Am I missing something?

Rating: 6/10 (14 February 2008)

The first 2/3rds of this movie were pretty good. During that period the movie sticks to what the back of the box says it is about. The lead actress does a good job of showing the conflicting emotions you might expect one to feel as a Jew working in a Nazi headquarters. It's tense, though-provoking, and enjoyable.
But then at some point the film veers off the road and wanders through some over-the-top territory. It's all too much to suspend disbelief any more. This person is good, no wait he's bad, no wait he's good, no wait he's bad! At that point who cares anymore? Some horrific events are depicted but I never got a feel for the motives of the perpetrators. I just couldn't stop thinking that the movie should have ended by now. It's like they were stacking up stuff and for a while, they had a really high story, but eventually they tried to stack too much and it all fell down.
