A 2007 Israeli film inspired this fretful thriller about Israeli agents sent to Cold War East Berlin to abduct a notorious Nazi (acted with evil charisma by Jesper Christensen). Two acting teams play the flawed heroes (Sam Worthington, Marton Csokas, Jessica Chastain when young; Tom Wilkinson, Helen Mirren, Ciarán Hinds in old retirement). Worthington is dull meat; John Madden directed like a Hitchcock grind, dutifully checking off lessons; and the crudely violent, vacantly “moral” climax falling on game but creaky Mirren is ludicrous. Despite effective moments and clammy atmosphere, this is pulp trying to be a Holocaust-haunted drama of ethical weight. (2011) — David Elliott
