This movie was so good in detail, I just had to have it. I saw it many times on HBO but now I had to have a copy.
Just what I think of it is not the best or easiest question to answer because of the way the Nazi's killed all those innocent Jews. If you are a big history buff that movie (like I said) is fantastic for the account of that meeting.

A moving docu/drama based on the only remaining transcript of this "cold" policy developed solely for the complete inhumanity to humanity.
This drama leaves the viewer stunned by the incapacity of how human beings at their worst can concieve a means for their ends.
Powerfull performances by all the actors that have the ability for you to believe you are actually watching the real life meeting as it was conducted.
All students should watch this dramatisation so that "if we do not learn from the lessons of the past, we are condemed to relive them".

Not good.

Wow! So many wonderful reviews?! In fact. this portrayal is very mellodramatic and,, it is off all the way around. Listen, if you want a superficial and,, I can hardly get started! The only thing Authenic about this is the Uniforms and the location. Everything else is rediculous! The British accents, the overly dramatised acting- all are snide, rude and overly arrogant. The guy playing the legal rep was in fact the best actor. Most realistic. They did not even refer to each other as Gruppenfuehrer or whatever. It was General, Major etc. For every actual minute ref from the actual conference minutes, there was 200 times more ''Hollywood'' filler.
Hey! I know this is a movie and Hollywood folk are not doing a documentary here but, well, it is too much of a wrong thing. Even the actors! They could have found someone that has at l;east kinda similar looks and mannersims as Heydrich! The actor was pretentious snide and silly. For those with limited knowledge, it is silly. For those with decent knowledge, it is rediculous.

Chilling and Compelling

Not for the faint hearted; this film captures the malevolent atmosphere as the select group gathers for what initially appears to be a meeting to coordinate cooperation. Only as the discussion unfolds do we (and some of those around the table) become aware that this 'final solution' is about the obliteration of an entire race. Brannagh's performance as Heydrich is as compelling as it is disturbing. The ruthless efficiency in manipulating, cajoling and bullying others to agree his approach is fascinating until we realise that the subject is the execution of innocent men, women and children who have been stripped of any humanity. This is not just entertainment but a great insight into trying to understand the workings of a warped society on the verge of decline.
