Title: A courageous man,but a dull depiction of his acts.
Product review: I am extremely interested in heroic tales of the Holocaust Era.Though this film is good from the informational aspect, it is just plain dull viewing.The life of Wallenberg would best be suited to more skillful hands than those who directed and produced this one.Swedish actor Stellan Skarsgaard (THE OX) never comes to life at any time as the defiant diplomat Raoul Wallenberg.An earlier made-for-TV version of WALLENBERG was far superior in all ways.Too bad it has never been released to tape to my knowledge.For those interested in the Hungarian-Jewish slaughter of WW2,I would recommend MUSIC BOX or SUNSHINE.Though these films do not specifically address the 65,000 Jews of the Budapest ghetto,THESE films are at least engrossing and DO communicate the atrocities to some degree that occured in Hungary in a much more engaging and compelling way for the screen.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
