Customer Reviews

"I am a scientist; I have done my job."

“You are an executioner, do yours!” Barry Kohler (Steve Guttenberg) discovers the (NSDAP) is in Paraguay in 1978. He tries to tip off Ezra Lieberman (Laurence Olivier), a famous Nazi hunter, of an overheard plot to execute 94 men (all minor officials) from all over the civilized world within two years. The informant is dispatched during the revelation. Was he exaggerating? If not, why such an obscure plot? We watch as Herr Lieberman slowly comes around to the reality of the nefarious plot by “The Boys from Brazil.” Will he be in time to foil it? Should he? Finally, a film where Gregory Peck can be the bad guy with no redeeming value. James Mason is his cool self, and Walter Gotell (born 15 March 1924, Bonn, Germany) makes the best German baddy.
