THE GOOD - Here we have a story of Jews "enlisted" to help the Nazis win the war by counterfeiting foreign currency. Basically, if they do their job and shut up they will be dealt, a bit of a better hand than their brethren without their unique counterfeiting skills. Sometimes one has to stand on principle rather than survival and that's what is reverberated for me throughout this movie. There is opposing forces, infighting, but eventually thanks to the men efforts who delayed counterfeiting foreign currency, they contributed to the downfall of the Nazis in their own little way. And doing it under Nazi duress makes for an all-around classic story. Everything is connected and all holds well, we know how the movie will end from the time it opens but the journey to get to that place is often the hardest part. What am I talking about? Give the movie a watch to find out. But first read
THE QUESTIONABLE parts of this film... to some there is a blur of what is good and right in the movie and the end leaves you questioning this. If you are the type who is a goody toe-shoes and likes a good moral ending you may find this one not up your alley, as it ends in a gray area when it comes to morality.
THE BAD - I mean not much. This felt like a full story. I felt the creative team behind the movie maxed out the direction they was going. The bad part of the film will be the questionable part to some. Also, character development and back story could have been better if you wish to knit pick.
WHY only a 7/10 IMDb style or a regular to high 3 out of 4 stars. It just felt like the story was in that critical range. You won't be disappointed if you watch "The Counterfeiters".
