When people stop giving 1 star because they can't read subtitles? If you got foreign movie by mistake, please don't rate it. It has nothing to do with the quality of the movie. I personally would better read subtitles then hear cheesy dubbing in foreign films. This was the Oscar's Best Foreign Movie in 2007.

Another depressing but interesting true story - one I didn't know about before. How could this have stayed a secret for so long? Quite an amazing story, but so sad too.

I found this well acted, well directed, and well photographed German-made film about a relatively unknown but significant Nazie program to counterfit British and U.S. currency during WW II to be excellent. The main characters, both Jewish prisoners and the SS camp commander, were compelling in how each delt with the insane system and situation they found themselves in---few heroes but only the human effort to survive.

Some of the words on the screen went by so fast that you either need to be a speed reader or quick with the pause button!

Let me say that I have no problem with subtitles in general, and I watch many foreign films with subtitles. We started the film with the German audio and English subtitles, and found it very hard to follow. It was almost as if there were a technical glitch and every other line was not displayed. At that point, since my wife and I speak French,we switched to the French audio and no subtitles. We really enjoyed the movie, very interesting story and characters. So I recommend the movie with the warning that we had a problem with the English subtitles.

This movie was surprisingly just average. It's worth renting, but I was expecting so much more. And some of it was obviously influenced by (or maybe even taken from) schindler's list. So I would recommend going into this one expecting nothing, especially an academy award winning movie as I did.
