A movie about legendary evil starring legendary titans, all rekindled into a conglomerate of beautiful photography, gigantic Jerry Goldsmith score and superb acting, sometimes teetering on hammy but always under control. Olivier particularly phenomenal. When isn't he? There's also a half dozen recognizable supporting faces sprinkled throughout that really flesh out the cast.

Franklin J. Schaffner of the three classic P's: Planet of the Apes, Patton and Papillon, really reigns in what could be B-movie execution with high levels of committed acting and plausible plotting. This is ultimately my kind of globe-trotting political intriguer with some slow moments but it always kept me interested.

Great concept and cast, but immensely longs and plodding. Did Goldsmith recycle this score for The Great Train Robbery? And the ridiculously young Steve Guttenberg reminds me a lot of Jesse Eisenberg -- and not just for the most obvious reasons.

There is a lot of over acting going on in this movie and its mainly by Gregory Peck as Joseph Mengele, the movie itself is kind of a black comedy so I can see why but sometimes it was kinda bad. Laurence Olivier was great as Ezra Lieberman, a Nazi hunter looking for Mengele, he had all the best lines and was fun to watch. The first half was boring but the second half came along and really turned things up a notch.

Nazi Hunters. Cloning. Rabid Dogs. Evil Children. Gregory Peck and Laurence Olivier chewing on every piece of scenery in sight. How did I just discover this?

It isn't amazing, but it is an interesting idea. Gregory Peck and Laurence Olivier do good jobs (Peck is a bit cartoonish at times, but not a huge deal). As a biology major, I love the fact that the director included a scene on the explanation of how clones are created (same way Dolly the sheep was cloned, and a method that is still used today). I thought the ending raised an interesting moral question also.

It's best to go in this film, like every other film, not knowing a thing about the source material. It's a tightly made thriller with solid acting by Laurence Olivier, who disappears into his role, and a terrifying Gregory Peck. It does have some questionable logic to the story, but otherwise, a really solid thriller.

The Boys From Brazil is campy thriller with absurd, but very cool premise and a lot of fun over-the-top acting, but I think it was always intended to be that way. I reckon there are many ways (most of which are more serious and dramatic) to tell this particular story, but usually excellent director Franklin J. Schaffner and his actors stuck to their guns and made a movie that most people would never call a classic, yet you can't deny it is very entertaining.
