Fatherland


FATHERLAND - Feb. 13, 2012
An enjoyable enough movie about an alternate 1960s in which Germany won the war, and is the world's biggest superpower.  The film finds a cop (played by the great Rutger Hauer) investigating some murders that turn out to be related to a huge government cover-up.  The film is obviously going for a '70s thriller vibe, but in this case the conspiracy is the fact that the holocaust happened, so the investigation isn't all that interesting because we know all along what the big reveal is going to be.  **1/2
