A retelling of the capture of Adolf Eichmann played by Ben Kingsley. Star Wars 7,8,9 Poe is 'herr captor'. I wasn't going to watch this but Stacy said there was a martial arts scene in the beginning, so I watched that (Poe training in some Kravish groin grabs) and then figured I'd watch the rest. It was okay. A tad plodding but I do prefer espionage pre-IT. Ever since smart phones, it's always about satellite cams, drones, and downloading secret files to a flash drive (and we all know that never happens as quickly as it does in the movies just like how fast guns run out of bullets in real life). This was in Argentina in the 60s so it's low tech. There's some viscious bad Nazi scenes, and Kingsley is spot on as always. Poe has one character - the rogue good guy who knows how to do it in spite of his direct orders. No sword fights. Not DOOM recommended.
