Taylor, hawk-faced and gaunt, pours everything into his portrayal of Hitler, never once seeking our sympathy for this angry, homeless loner.
Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times

Offers a persuasive look at a defeated but defiant nation in flux.
Bruce Westbrook, Houston Chronicle

If it's not a completely successful film, it is at the very least an intriguing effort to humanize the demon.

Fascinating story from screenwriter- turned-director Menno Meyjes.
