Wow, Hopkins directed this and, honestly, at best he's directed a lot of guilty pleasure movies. You know, the movies that you know are bad but you like them anyway. This one is actually, well, good. It's a legit good film and that is odd for Hopkins. Anyway, the failing is the Nazi thing. The discrimination in America plays, because that was really the principal challenge that Owens needed ...
