So we watched Operation Finale last night, the story of the Israeli Mossad abducting Adolph Eichmann from Argentina and bringing him to justice in Israel.
Personally we've believed Ben Kingsley has been coasting on his Gandhi Oscar for the last three decades. But here he is magnificent as Eichmann. At no time did we think, 'Oh, there's Ben Kingsley.'
Look Po Dameran!
An interesting plot point was the assistance Mossad received from Argentine Jews. They wondered if the Jews would be loyal to them or to Argentina.
We leave that for the reader to decide.
We thought about the matter ourselves. For the record, if the Israelis asked us to commit some sort of crime in the United States for the benefit of Israel we'd tell them to take a hike and then call the FBI...after 24 hours or so. Eh, maybe 12.
