Last week, the United States booted a Nazi war crimes perpetrator from our shores. The timing is perfect, as Hollywood releases another opportunity for moviegoers to embark on another Nazi hunting mission in “Operation Finale.”
In the film, director Chris Weitz brings to life the true story of an Israeli Mossad team’s 1960 mission to extract German Nazi SS Officer Adolf Eichmann (played by Sir Ben Kingsley) from his home in Argentina, a known ratline for Nazi sympathizers after World War II. Oscar Isaac plays an embattled, impulsive Mossad agent named Peter Malkin, who joins a team tasked with capturing Eichmann. Other members of Malkin’s team include Rafi Eitan (Nick Kroll) and Hanna Elian (Melanie Laurent). The team lands in Argentina, establishes a series of safe houses with the charge of capturing Eichmann, sedating him, and escaping dressed as a flight crew to ensure that Eichmann stands trial for his crimes in Israel.
