Dorathen Better Late Then Never

Cunninghamolga This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.

Cassandra Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Kirpianuscus at the first sigh, a film of actors. at the second, impressive for the theme. a film about Nazi and one of its names, mix of madness, utopia, genetic and game of appearances. the meet between Laurence Olivier and Gregory Peck remains remarkable. in same measure, it is a film who reminds classic rules of the power. and the forms to use it for give form to illusions. today, behind its artistic virtues, it is a film as a warning. about the temptation to recreate the shadows of past. to give power to the dark dreams. and this could be a significant virtue.

brefane Expensively produced adaptation of Ira Levin's novel is a combination of Marathon Man and The Omen. The Boys from Brazil should have been intense and gripping, but it's weighed down by a convoluted plot spanning the globe with too many characters whose function is to provide exposition. Franklin J. Schaffner who often helmed large scale productions: Patton, Pappilion, The Planet of the Apes, Nicholas and Alexandria is a plodding director and this material needs a visionary. The film is watchable with some effective scenes and performances, and a sweeping score to carry it, but the sluggish pace makes it a long 2 hours. Jeremy Black is amusing as the boys from Brazil, Uta Hagen is memorably intense, and Olivier in role that provided him with his final Oscar nomination is basically repeating his Marathon Man performance. And though I enjoyed Peck playing the bad guy, George C. Scott who was originally cast might have provided a terrifying powerhouse of a villain that would have ignited this film.

grantss Good action-thriller. Very original and innovative script, based on the novel by Ira Levin.The cast is a prestigious one - Sir Laurence Olivier, Gregory Peck, James Mason - and they all put in great performances. Olivier got the Leading Actor Oscar nomination but Peck is the one to watch. He appears as the arch-villain of the piece, and is quite convincing. It is a rare occasion when Gregory Peck plays a villain, and he pulls it off superbly.Steve Guttenberg makes a brief appearance, in one of his earliest roles, but don't let that put you off.A reasonably entertaining and intriguing movie.

SnoopyStyle In Paraguay, Barry Kohler (Steve Guttenberg) is tracking a group of Nazis. In Vienna, Nazi hunter Ezra Lieberman (Laurence Olivier) dismisses Kohler's discovery and tells him to go home. Kohler continues his investigation and finds Dr. Josef Mengele (Gregory Peck) arrive with plans to kill 94 seemingly ordinary 65 year old men from around the world. The Nazis kill Kohler while he's on the phone with Lieberman. Lieberman continues Kohler's investigation and discovers striking resemblance of the victims' adopted sons. The children are all clones of the Hitler whom Mengele hopes to scientifically recreate.I expected better. It's surprising how slow and prodding this movie is. The compelling aspect of the movie is the sinister plan. However it reveals too much of it too early and the plan is kind of silly making Mengele a Bond villain. On paper, it sound appealing to have an old master actor as a heroic lead. On film, the movie suffers from a lack of pace and tension. No matter how much Peck camps it up as a Nazi villain, this is an intriguing but slow thriller.
