Based on an arresting true story, The Captain follows an enigmatic German army deserter, Willi Herold (Max Hubacher), after he stumbles across an abandoned Nazi captains uniform in the final weeks of World War II. Newly emboldened by the allure of a suit he stole only to stay warm, Herold discovers that many Germans will follow the leader, whomever that happens to be. A parade of fresh atrocities follows in the self-declared captains wake, serving as a reminder of the consequences of social conformity and untrammeled political power. Simultaneously a historical docudrama and sociological examination with undertones of ghoulish absurdity,The Captain presents fascism as a system to be gamed by those most casuistic and unscrupulous.

8/10

A really neat movie !

This is a surprising movie. Th is poorly advertised/promoted movie delivers good script, acting and the camera work is A1. The movie is based on a true story of a low ranking German soldier who assumes the rank of a Captain and goes on a murderous rampage enlisting similar rogues to help him achieve it. While the actual historic criminal acts of murder are depicted in the movie, the graphic nature of it is not really thrown in your face. You can fill in the blanks. In authenticity, this movie is way up there. Uniforms, weapons and vehicles are all in line with the era.

When you see artillery and aerial bomb explosions in this movie, what is depicted is the same as actual artillery and aerial bombing of that time. They did a fine job replicating it..

The movie draws you in and it is gripping to say the least. I give it a solid 8 stars.
