“Operation Finale” looks at the capture of the man who was in charge of the Final Solution for the Third Reich — Adolf Eichmann. Eichmann was one of the few highest-ranking Nazis that escaped Germany after the war and made a new life in Buenos Aires with his family.

The year was 1960. Israel was very young and the memories of World War II were still vivid in the minds of people around the world. But it wasn’t until Eichmann’s trial when the world woke up and realized exactly what he and his fellow Nazis did and how many people they murdered and tortured.

Oscar Isaac, Ben Kingsley, Mélanie Laurent, Lior Raz, Nick Kroll, Michael Aronov, Haley Lu Richardson, Joe Alwyn, Torben Liebrecht, Ohad Knoller, Michael Benjamin Hernandez, Greta Scacchi, Pêpê Rapazote and Peter Strauss star in this tense and intense story of the Israelis’ ingenious plan to capture Eichmann and bring him safely back to Israel for trial. The mission was fraught with danger, but was ultimately a great success.

In 1979, the film “The House on Garibaldi Street” also focused on this story, however in the bonus features on this new disc, filmmaker Chris Weitz says “Operation Finale” is the most accurate telling of what happened back in 1960. With the assistance of a former Mossad agent, the filmmakers wanted to get as accurate retelling of the incident. They used many of the actual locations in the city where many of the occurrences happened. And they took over an old house and recreated the furniture and style of the early 1960s.

In the bonus, Sir Ben Kingsley states that “there is nothing attractive about playing Eichmann but what compels me to play him is the story of the capture of a monster and honoring all that monster’s victims.”

While it’s hard to dislike Kingsley, his acting makes it impossible not to be abhorrent about the man he portrays — Eichmann. It’s also eye-opening how the Argentine powers-that-be were complicit in hiding the Nazis and revving up the feelings of Hitler. The country definitely turned a blind eye to the war criminals. There was an effort to keep the Nazis together and their ideals alive.

While killing him in Argentina, once there was proof he was the real Eichmann, would have been preferable to many people, the Israelis wanted to bring him to justice for the eyes of the world. This was the most dangerous part of the mission, however, it was necessary to show the world what had been done to 6 million Jews.
