Movie Reviews of The Boys From Brazil
Movie Review: 2.5 stars out of 4
Summary: 3 Stars
The Bottom Line:
The first half of the Boys from Brazil works brilliantly, luring the viewer into the mystery and keeping him or her interested in what will happen next, but the film's second half leaves a lot to be desired and often severely strains disbelief; don't devote 130+ minutes to this film when there are many better options out there.
Summary of The Boys From Brazil
Alive and hiding in South America the fiendish Nazi Dr. Josef Mengele (Geregory Peck) gathers a group of former colleagues for a horrifying project - he wants to clone Hitler. Barry Kohler (Steve Guttenberg) gets wind of the project and informs fames Nazi hunter Ezra Lieberman (Laurence Olivier) but before he can relay the the evidence Kohler is killed. Mengele continues his murderous plot creating 94 young Hitlers and killing their fathers to simulate the madman s own boyhood. As Mengele moves closer to producing global terror Lieberman alone must discover the terrifying extent of his plan and stop it.System Requirements:Starring: Gregory Peck Laurence Olivier James Mason and Lilli Palmer. Directed By: Franklin J. Schaffner Running Time: 127 Mins. Color This film is presented in "Widescreen" format. Copyright 1999 Artisan Home Entertainment Inc.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre:?DRAMA Rating:?R UPC:?012236607489 Manufacturer No:?60748Gregory Peck hams it up big time in this 1978 thriller based on Ira Levin's bestselling novel. Peck plays an old German Nazi behind a mysterious series of murders, the investigation of which leads to an astonishing plot to create the Fourth Reich. Laurence Olivier is equally outrageous as a Nazi hunter who stumbles onto the scheme. Director Franklin Schaffner (Planet of the Apes) doesn't make any bones about the preposterousness of the story or of his legendary stars' performances, and a viewer is advised not to push too deeply into this tall tale for cautionary meaning. The film is a bit bloody--particularly unnerving in a climactic scene involving some attack dogs under the command of a young but familiar-looking monster. --Tom Keogh
