If you do not like long reviews, omit this one! I found this movie very interesting, the stry is just awesome, portraying some out of shape older guys than wouldn't have been drafted because they would not have qualified for the military, but to their credit they were art experts or curators etc ..That was the only real qualification for their assignment most likely months before FDR's death . The assignment had nothing to do Militarily except return the art to the original owners i.e. the Jews , the church's and the French Museums where they were stolen .. . this is a Nobel gesture, especially since the Soviets were to take over the area and had they found the art first,
they intended to us it for war repartitions .
Reparations were the same demands made by the French and British from the Germans after WWI, which most likely pre-empted the fierce depression in Germany that gave rise to the Nazis. So, what can I say? Enjoy the movie ,, I'm no Clooney fan or Matt Damon but I enjoyed the story and the characters they portrayed . They did look to old to be in the army but that part of the story itself...
