While not as masterful as director Oliver Hirschbiegel’s earlier “Downfall,” this is nonetheless a fascinating and little-known tale.

It’s a genuine achievement on an inexhaustible subject.

13 Minutes’ closing titles explain that following the war, Elser remained an unknown and that it took decades for his courageous actions to receive their due recognition.

Oliver Hirschbiegel delivers a confident account of the life of Georg Elser, who made a failed attempt to bomb Adolf Hitler in 1939.

Aside from vilifying the Nazis, the ideological endgame of Oliver Hirschbiegel’s film remains a bit too slippery.
2846d ago
In the end, 13 Minutes isn’t about the timing or logistics of one man’s plot to kill Hitler at all, but about what made that man tick.

The true story of a failed attempt to assassinate Hitler is given a mawkish, Oscar-hungry overhaul.
2846d ago
The story of Hitler’s would-be assassin Georg Elser gets simplified treatment in this latest trivialization of WWII subject matter.
