Interesting true story. But it's about time filmmakers move on and stop making movies about WWII, no matter how inspiring or uplifting the stories are. This one is nether and it's unfortunately not that engaging because it's told in such conventional ways, I couldn't get into the moral dilemma.

The Counterfeiters is a fictionalized do-or-die tale of survival by a group of talented counterfeiters set World War II Nazi concentration camp. Bold, brave, and provocative new perspective on Operation Bernhard and its role in the Holocaust. Credible cast and performances. A deserving 2007 Academy Award Best Foreign Language Film winner.

This film isn't bad, but it's not that good either. Things happen way too fast in the beginning, which is surprising since German films usually have very good pacing. The movie doesn't really get interesting until the end of the second act, and even then it only offers a few exciting scenes. The camera work was also pretty bad, which doesn't help an already "meh" movie. Like I said, it wasn't bad. But it's definitely not a film I'd recommend or care to watch again.

It may be hard to some to dare say negative things about a movie with such a delicate storyline, but The Counterfeiters has really nothing extraordinary to it and I now seem to be the only one to say it is a terribly overrated movie. The direction, which gives a TV look to the film (it was a great thing for The Pianist; here, it is only making it look cheap), is unfortunately very unsensitive while strong emotions should be what you'd find in a movie that is supposed to be inspiring. While it failed to inspire anything in me, it did manage to protray the horror of the Holocaust but never came close to other great films of the genre. Its qualities are never enough considerable to overcome its tactless and cold portrayal of a journey that was supposed to feel inspiring.
