Movie review - "Operation Finale" (2018) **

 Decent enough version of the Albert Eichmann capture story, which has been filmed a lot. I'm not sure if this adds much that is new (though I haven't seen those earlier versions so I could be wrong). It feels dragged out at 2 hours and isn't that exciting. The material is inherently interesting but we don't seem much of the complexity of the time - Argentine and US involvement, for instance. Ben Kingsley and Oscar Isaac are fine. I liked Nick Kroll as an Israeli intelligence op and that burly bald guy.
