The Resistance Banker (2018)

Very interesting historical fact, but the movie leaves a lot to be desired

[3/10 · 16 September 2018]

I ended up watching this movie for its historical relevance. I would have loved if the director took time to explain the ingenious financial underpinnings of the scheme, which is the soul of the story. The movie editing in particular was a disaster of epic proportions. The editors couldn't decide what to cut out of the movie, and as a result we have a collage of stunted scenes: e.g. someone in a plane getting ready to parachute, then cut to a completely unrelated scene, never to see the guy in the plane again. Very poorly put together, but I applaud the producers for digging up an interesting subject.
