He's excellent. Played a good role in the Movie "In Tranzit", German POWs in a Russian Gulag ran by women guards.

In Tranzit

2008—R90 minutes run time...

Nazi POWs suspected of heinous acts are locked up in a Soviet women's prison run by vengeful female guards. To weed out the guilty, the innocent must pay. Can supposed enemies turn into great loves? Based on a true post-World War II story, this drama stars Thomas Kretschmann, John Malkovich and Vera Farmiga in a bitter game of cat and mouse and a battle between hate and humanity, mercy and revenge. Tom Roberts directs.

Cast:Thomas Kretschmann, Vera Farmiga, John Malkovich, Daniel Brühl, Nathalie Press, Ingeborge Dapkunaite, Thekla Reuten, Yevgeni Mironov, Beverly Hotsprings, Tatyana YakovenkoDirector:Tom RobertsGenres:Drama, Military & War Dramas, 20th Century Period Pieces, Period PiecesThis movie is:Dark, SuspensefulFormat:DVD

Looks like a good film too...

Just saw a new movie I have never heard of...filmed in 1999 on location at Oberslazberg, Bertesgarten/Kehlsteinhaus The charters are remarkable in their likeness to Eva Braun/Goebbels/Hitler/Bormann.

Strange plot, fascinating study of interpersonal relationships within Hitler's inter circle during the period of 1942.

The films name is "Moloch"


Well worth the viewing, it's 1 Hr. 43 min.in length.

Hi Englander,

The movie is in German, with English subtitles I think the subtitles also come in about 3 different languages if I remember correctly.

I viewed it on a DVD from netflix.

It's a very strange movie...had to describe...but the locations are the exact locations where all the action originally took place. There were a couple of scenes that I could not place, but it's all very accurate in it's historical context.

I just saw the "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade." In the scene where Indy runs into the Fuhrer, Hitler autographs the book Indy is trying to liberate from the Nazis. If you look close,,his (Hitler's) signature is a joke, and not Hitlers actual signature as he would have signed it at that particular period in history.

If the people who think they have an authentic period movie with no bloopers they are very sadly mistaken! :x

Doesn't it go without saying that the Indiana Jones movies are not intended to be authentic period movies? I don't think anyone in his right mind would look at this movies as anything other then skillfully made adventure movies which are very loosely based on an historic theme. Or perhaps you missed the dozens and dozens of other "mistakes" (in my opinion it is only a mistake if the producers actually tried to depict it correctly. Spielberg did not have that intention at all).
