Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Truly Dreadful Film

It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

Another excellent holocaust film is 2003's "Out of the Ashes." A Jewish doctor who survived Auschwitz comes to New York after the war and passes her bar exams only to be examined by an inquiry determining her participation with Dr. Mengele at Auschwitz.Christine Lahti was absolutely terrific here. Her emotions as the outraged doctor were most convincing.The film relies on flashback to show that she came from an orthodox family who resisted fleeing to Israel as the elders felt they were too old to start life anew there.The movie showed how she was duped by Mengele which led to women going to their deaths. During this time at Auschwitz, she worked feverishly to save women; although, some of her methods came under intense scrutiny.A gem of a film.

the actress playing the role of Dr Gisela Pearl should be nominated for her performance. the film showed the courage of the human spirit in the face of hate and tragedy. after looking at the film, I was humbled by the courage of this woman who lost all her family but decide in spite of what happened to her to survive and help other fellow humans. she also had to go through the pain of defending herself after being accused of collaborating with the Nazi. Anyone in the same position had little choices but to try to remain alive. She did more than that and for that reason she should be honoured for her heroism. I am full of admiration for the Jewish people time and time again when I see films such as this one.

when i saw some loser idea from a previous commentator about this film being a melodramatic waste of time i was baffled. this film is the most emotional film i have ever seen. the idea that those Nazis who could do such things were themselves immune to it all but afraid of pain. its rare that you get a look at so many things of the camps, and this film shows you nearly anything you would imagine happening in a place such as Auschwitz. forget that comment that guy made about this film being so under par and just one of another. watch this for yourself and i guarantee if you have any sense of a good movie or good acting you'll know this movie is complete with both. no complaints on my part of this film other than the fact that since it was made on facts that in the end Doctor Joseph Mengele was not given a piece of his own medicine. any other way this was a great film.

This portrayal of Dr. Gisella Perl is the greatest movie about life inside the fences of Auschwitz. As a history major, specified on the Holocaust, I believe the cast and crew of this movie really knew what they were doing. Every time I watch it, tears form in my eyes as Lahti portrays Perl in the scene where she pulls her sleeve up to the U.S. men explaining how she was not a collaborator, how she was a prisoner, and that she had the identification number to prove it. I hope that this movie did Dr. Perl justice and her family see's what a tremendous woman she was. Now every time I do any research project or paper for a history class concerning the Holocaust, Nazi era, or Hitler, I bring up Dr. Perl, and explain how it takes more than courage to save all the lives she saved... it takes love, compassion, and devotion to her fellow inmates and all the persecuted victims. This movie deserves more than one award.. it deserves to be in some kind of Hall of Fame.
