Did You Know?
According to CIA documents released in 2006, U.S. and West German intelligence knew that Eichmann was hiding in Argentina in 1958. But they revealed nothing, fearing he might expose former comrades who had been useful to the CIA or the German government. See more »
Adolf Eichmann's uniform shows the SS Runes patch. Eichmann's dept RSHA Referat IV B4 was under Reinhard Heydrich and the SD Security Service. The right collar patch on his uniform should be solid black with an SD diamond patch on his bottom left jacket sleeve. Pre-1934 he wore the standard SS officer uniform with the SS Runes. But not after 1934 when he started working for RSHA Referat IV B4 dept and the SD. See more »
Minister Tormer. There's not enough!
Avner Less. Enough what?
Minister Tormer. Enough hard evidence that his lawyer can't chip away at in court, or get him extradited to Germany. There's no death penalty in Germany. Which is ironic.

A waste of time, and an insult for intelligence
When a film's starting sentence is 'based on a true story' or if you know that the story behind the film actually took place, you expect at least the facts to be close to reality. I'll put aside the embarrassing mistakes in Hebrew (didn't you have Israeli actors on the set?), what troubles me more is the inaccuracies in historical facts, and the actual 'creation' of allegedly legal documentations that never existed. Furthermore, the addition of plot lines that portray Eichmann as a brutal murderer, and as a 'valentino', are not correct, add nothing to the plot (apart from the female nudity, which is entirely not required in this movie), and miss the horrible fact that Eichmann, like many many officers in the German Reich was a gray man, who just filed documents that sent millions to their death. This movie is a shame for the viewers' intelligence. Ignoring the historical errors and the made up plot lines, the movie itself is not interesting, the characters are superficial and empty, and if there's an intention to create a 'duel' between Eichmann and Less, it is artificial and is futile.
