A team of secret agents set out to track down the Nazi officer who masterminded the Holocaust.
Due to good production, period detail and an appropriate ensemble this is a watchable, but not too sophisticated depcition of the historical events.

La chambre des morts (2007)
While on a joyride with the headlights turned off, two men hit and kill another man carrying a satchel full of money...
Very competently produced crime thriller with a good cast, but the plot is a series of improbable coincidences, and the finale is a full ripoff from The Silence of the Lambs.
On second view: still agree with my initial impression, nevertheless watchable.

Requiem pour une tueuse (2011)
A woman, the best killer in the business, accepts a final job: eliminate an opera singer who threatens the interests of a corporation.
A preposterous plot and silly and unconvincing characters is all one can says about this would-be thriller.

Inglourious Basterds (2009)
In Nazi-occupied France during World War II, a group of Jewish-American soldiers known as "The Basterds" are chosen specifically to spread fear throughout the Third Reich by scalping and brutally killing Nazis.
Compared to the director's more recent work this is a surprisingly subdued and focused attempt, his most 'mature' movie since Jackie Brown.
