Customer Reviews

Worth Watching
Far from perfect but far from being a bomb too. This is a subject matter that only HBO or Showtime would do today. This is a story of a group of women who have survived the German Death Camps. Its now the 1970's in Los Angeles and these women see the man who harmed them in the death camps. As a group they decide to kill him. An all-star cast makes it worth watching! This is a movie they could and should be re-made.

Plumbing the depths
My review is full of superlatives sadly all of them negative. It must be the most disappointing film I have seen in years. It is a must for anyone who wants to see how to take the most compelling themes of drama, justice, retribution, revulsion, that humanity can raise and then trample them in a travesty of poor research, wretched script writing, and one dimensional characterisation. Oh and I forgot -the most unbelievable European accents ever to be mangled by otherwise fine actresses. The only departments to acquit themselves well were the wardrobe and props which are delightfully 1970's kitch. Finally, though I do not know much of the American legal system, whoever heard of a potential witness of fact for the defence trying to double as a lawyer? It's stupid for the defendants and repugnant to the court and the profession. Viewing this film seems a waste of part of my short span on this planet.
