"You are born of the noblest blood in the world. You have it within you to fulfill ambitions one thousand times greater than those at which you presently dream, and you shall fulfill them, Bobby. You shall." - Dr. Josef Mengele to young Bobby Wheelock

Why watch this? It's an incredibly gripping tale about Nazi war criminals scheming in South America.

Plot Summary: A young Nazi hunter in Paraguay uncovers a disturbing meeting of former SS officers, led by the notorious Dr. Josef Mengele. This discovery alerts a skeptical but seasoned Nazi hunter, Ezra Lieberman, who investigates the bizarre plot to understand its terrifying goal. Ultimately, he unravels a horrific conspiracy to revive the Third Reich through a chilling application of genetic engineering.

Dad's Preview: This tight thriller is like a complex ball of twin; as more is unraveled, more of the plot is revealed. It all leads to an incredible, terrifying revelation. Two veteran actors, in Peck and Olivier, give excellent performances. On a side note, it's impossible for me two write a preview on a film centered on a raging narcissist, enacting his evil plan, without seeing the undeniable parallels to America's political situation. Critics of the day couldn't understand that Dr. Mengele's plan wasn't more fleshed out. Well, duh, these men wantonly execute their concepts of plans and damn the consequences. The only thing the rest of us can do is count the bodies.
