I doubt they'll be a lot of interest in this movie, but it's worth seeing. Not great, but above average to good (2.5 stars).

Good cast. Given the subject matter, they could have gone alot of different ways with it and they chose to intersperse some humor which got some laughs. Sickening seeing the Nazis burning art work and I wonder what percent of the art stolen ever was recovered.

They could have offered alot more historical context, i.e. it is estimated 1 million pieces of art were stolen and only 225,000 have been recovered and returned to its last owner or whatever.

If you compare this movie vs Argo (historical events) , Argo crushes it but it's still above average.
