Based on the final confession made by Adolf Eichmann just before his execution in Israel, director Robert Young's film begins 15 years after the World War II has ended. Eichmann has been captured by Israeli intelligence. As a senior officer in the SS, Eichmann played a pivotal role in making the Holocaust a nightmarish reality. Now, as Eichmann prepares to die in front of the entire world, he accounts for his participation in one of the greatest atrocities ever committed. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Mike Hale, New York Times
Mr. Kretschmann holds your attention through each whining complaint and bland denial. His character may be banal, but his portrayal is the only thing that keeps you watching.
-
Ella Taylor, Village Voice
Robert Young's well-intentioned dramatic re-enactment is burdened by sepia-period accessorizing, laborious flashbacks, spurious comparisons, and the downright bizarre casting of Franka Potente and Stephen Fry.
-
Robert Koehler, Variety
Dry, detached and mechanical.
-
Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times
Eichmann is illuminating, comprehensive, richly detailed and timelessly important - but also ponderous.
-
Doris Toumarkine, Film Journal International
Sincere, handsomely produced rendition of real-life encounter...amounts to an engaging drama seasoned by a dollop of soft-core titillation. History buffs, especially, among the upscale art-house crowd won't be disappointed.
