Chris Weitz shows his versatile talent as a director who elicits performances that humanize all the characters, even the ones who seem to deserve it the least.

It's in the movie's lengthy middle sequence of verbal sparring between Malkin and Eichmann that Operation Finale comes into its own.

The pacing is off from the first scenes, thick with exposition but skimpy on clarity.

Ben Kingsley's serene, "everybody sh*ts" reading of the character is a source of illumination around which everything else in the picture revolves.
August 30, 2018
A compelling if somewhat low-key historical thriller, elevated by fine performances from Kingsley and Isaac.

While there are some issues with pacing and editing as well as Isaac's performance, Operation Finale is an important part of history that should not be forgotten.

Operation Finale isn't bad; it just isn't as strong as similar stories that we've already seen.

The markings here are of a fiery potboiler, but "Operation Finale" never ignites.
