Operation Finale
Fifteen years after the end of World War II, Israel's intelligence agency Mossad and security agency Shin Bet - led by the tireless and heroic agent Peter Malkin (Isaac) - launched a daring top-secret raid to capture the notorious Eichmann (Kingsley), who had been reported dead in the chaos following Nazi Germany's collapse but was, in fact, living and working in a suburb of Buenos Aires, Argentina under an assumed identity along with his wife and two sons. Monitoring his daily routine, Malkin and his operatives plot and execute the abduction under the cover of darkness just a few feet from Eichmann's home. Determined to sneak him out of Argentina to stand trial in Israel, Malkin and Eichmann engage in an intense and gripping game of cat-and-mouse.

The film rests itself on the excitement of reality, which is nearly enough to make it a good movie, but not quite enough.

While there are some issues with pacing and editing as well as Isaac's performance, Operation Finale is an important part of history that should not be forgotten.

Operation Finale isn't bad; it just isn't as strong as similar stories that we've already seen.

This fact-based story is a carefully executed retelling of the Israeli operation to catch Eichmann in Buenos Aires and bring him to Israel to stand trial for his part in the Holocaust.

The pacing is off from the first scenes, thick with exposition but skimpy on clarity.

Chris Weitz shows his versatile talent as a director who elicits performances that humanize all the characters, even the ones who seem to deserve it the least.
August 30, 2018
A compelling if somewhat low-key historical thriller, elevated by fine performances from Kingsley and Isaac.

The markings here are of a fiery potboiler, but "Operation Finale" never ignites.
September 27, 2018
The film fictionalizes setups and collapses factual details while trying to make Eichmann's extraction play out with conventional suspense; it ends up a poor cousin to Argo.
August 30, 2018
It's in the movie's lengthy middle sequence of verbal sparring between Malkin and Eichmann that Operation Finale comes into its own.

At its best, it's something to watch if nothing's on The History Channel; at its worst, [it's] a borderline banal representation of the banality of evil.

Ben Kingsley's serene, "everybody sh*ts" reading of the character is a source of illumination around which everything else in the picture revolves.
