This film is a disgrace! The struggles of the people of Hungary in World War 2 are reduced to a cheap soap opera. "An unassuming young lawyer leads a fight against the Nazis near the end of the Second World War". This is the blurb. He's so unassuming that he is in a forced labour gang smashing rocks. Of course, he demonstrates his prowess by smashing rocks till the sun sets. What a hero!? If it is forced labour surely you don't show off. How hot shot lawyer ends up on a forced labour gang is not explained. He has refused to join the Resistance until his wife dies as a result of medical treatment being denied Jews. The resistance call on him. Which is great because he is really good acting as an SS officer in easy-to-acquire Nazi uniforms. His officer rehearsals before a mirror while the film cuts to female prisoners being abused is one of the most cringe inducing things I have ever seen on screen. I can't tell you the end. Seen on Netflix. Switched off with half an hour to go.
