Operation Finale (2018)

Capsule Summary (minimal spoilers):

Operation: Finale takes place after World War II. It tells the tale of a group of Mossad operatives who may have located a Nazi War Criminal hiding out in Argentina. Peter Malkin (Oscar Isaac) leads the team as they plan to capture the suspect.

It’s an international thriller, based on the true story. It works reasonably well, and is decently acted. It plays more like a TV drama than a big-screen feature film. The suspect is an excellent actor, but almost seems miscast for this particular role. Overall, it’s a decent effort, but doesn’t draw you in. Sure, there are tense moments, and the subject matter does come into play, so there is an emotional impact, but it’s not enough for me to recommend it, except perhaps as a rental.

Not really much else to say, here, so I won’t go into more detail.
