OPERATION FINALE: Oscar Isaac (who also produced) plays the lead in this suspense thriller about a group of Israeli agents and their journey to Argentina to track down the notorious Adolph Eichmann (played brilliantly by Ben Kingsley). It is a bit slow at times, but worth the view and down-right nail-biting toward the end. Catching the elusive Eichmann was nothing compared to what the group had to battle to get him out of Argentina and on a plane to Israel. Riveting stuff even if it feels at times that we've been down this path before. But this time the humanity of the villain shows up in several scenes, but not for long and not believable, I feel. It's just a different take on an old story but some food for thought.
