 Riveting movie, but........................... October 20, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
This was a riveting movie. The will to live and survive cast the tormnetors and the tormented in the same boat.
But the fragmented English subtiles spoils. Whoever did them did not know Englsh or was a sleep at the wheel. Many portions are without substitles. When they do appear, they are in bits and pieces, making them meaningless, ruining the enjoyment of the film.
Sellers should check out the DVD instead of making customers the quailty controllers.
 Great Germanic Opus October 7, 2008
The Counterfeiters is one very good film. It's even better when one considers it is based on a true event within Nazi Germany! Jewish counterfeiters and forgers who ran afoul of the law are in a prison camp and are recruited by the Third Reich to counterfeit American and British banknotes. How this is accomplished and why it ultimately fails is carried out in detail in this film.
The film is in German, with fairly large English sub-titles. Among the extras is a queston-and-answer period with the director, who speaks near-perfect English. There are few other extras. Beautifully photographed, it was the best foreign-language Oscar winner for 2007. Very highly recommended!
 Wow what an amazing preview! I learned nothing. October 6, 2008

I was riveted. A man walks along a beach, up a boardwalk and into a hotel. The tension was killing me, I mean, was he there to find a spy, the woman of his dreams, or to work on the plumbing? Those not wanting to risk renting the movie based only on this preview will never know. I can live with that.
Is this dubbed or subtitled? October 4, 2008

I'm interested in downloading the On-Demand version, but I don't want it if it is dubbed English. Can anyone who's rented it tell us if this is the original German version with subtitles? Nothing in the online description that I can find seems to address this.
Wonderful film October 3, 2008
Simply a wonderful film. So accurate in the human emotion and interreaction of the main characters. The end of the film, contrasting what was viewed as a horrible existance with the reality just a few feet from them is startling and horrific.
Great film.
