Negative Positive
Title: Weird Foreign film with a capital F, then it becomes amazing.
Review: The first half is so drawn out, slow and culturally weird it was hard to sit through. I kept waiting for the action. The story picks up half way through and is shocking if you are not familiar with the Eizengruppen SS.I watched this movie to see the depiction of how the Nazis came upon a town and then commited their atrocities. They come out of the fog and the scene is very creepy. You may have seen the grainy WW II footage of shootings and executions in documentaries before, but here you see how the SS laughed and joked and were drunk and commited rape. There are a couple of good books to educate yourself on how sick the Nazis were. Try Masters of Death and Hitlers Willing Executioners. This movie is the only depiction of the Eizengruppen SS I have ever seen. The documentary footage only scratches the surface of what the SS did. This movie shows it in greater detail and disgusting reality, even though only a movie.
Is the review positive or negative?
