(DVD, Universal)
Sprawling story of a German industrialist who takes advantage of the war to make his fortune, only to give it all away in an attempt to save his Jewish workers from the holocaust. Relentless and harrowing portrait of the brutality of the Nazis, the violence almost becomes numbing after awhile. Shot in gritty black and white, the amount of bloodshed may have been too much for color. The violence does make Neeson's transformation from Nazi sympathizer to Jewish savior all the more believable, however.
