Operation Finale (2018)

This film is sort of mix between Argo and Judgment at Nuremberg, both of which are great films.
It is 1960 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. World War II is over, long over but the memories of the Holocaust still hold firm in the minds of many working for Mossad so they discover that Adolf Eichmann (Ben Kingsley), the architect behind many of the mass executions of the Holocaust.
In an epic game of cat and mouse, a secret group of the Mossad led by Peter Macklin (Oscar Isaac) journey to Buenos Aires to extract Eichmann and bring him to Jerusalem for a trial.
The film does meander a bit as once Eichmann is captured, they are unable to board their flight so they need to continue holding him hostage until they can get another plane in and sneak him out of the country. It is during this period of the film that both Isaac and Kingsley can shine and shine they do as the film hinges on their performances.
And Eichmann's family in Argentina is wondering where he is, so the Argentinian police are hot on the Mossad's trail. The scene where they finally have Eichmann on a plane but a landing permit goes missing is no less thrilling than the epic finale of Argo. 
In this case, there is no happy ending as nothing can erase the deaths of ten million people in the Holocaust, but Eichmann does stand trial, is found guilty and the whole world is watching. He is hung and his ashes are spread at sea. He claims that he tried to send the Jews to other countries to save them, but nevertheless thought they were the scum of his country and that is a mindset that he has passed onto his children.
Though the two leads shine, the supporting cast including Nick Kroll, Haley Lu Richardson (as a pawn for the Mossad), Joe Alwyn and Melanie Laurent whose character is far more than just a love interest for Peter though she is pregnant at films end without any explanation as to who the father is.
There are some minor problems with the film including the one I just mentioned and it is not mentioned how Peter escapes Buenos Aires, with the police right on his heels. Still, it is a great film nevertheless with a plot that covers a lot of ground, quite literally with a lot of difficult elements coming together in the end. Grade: B+
