Title: Short on Realism
Review: I'll be fair and say I only watched this film once and this critique is an initial response.The film falls short on realism. I found the sense of humor in Clive Owen's character weakens the overall seriousness of terror one would feel in concentration camps- exspecially when history books and documentaries exposed such bleak, morbid pictures of this ugly time period. The film editing doesn't pick up speed and has a dragging effect. However, the outdoor shots (buildings, ect.) add dimension and realism to the film. Overall, good attempt but needs polished.
