Executive produced by Jordan Peele, Amazon's '70s-set drama Hunters, starring Al Pacino, is less a straightforward chronicle of Nazi-hunting and more a flashy slice of Jewsploitation. Read TheFienPrint's review:
that occasionally borders on ridiculous, boasting an outsize German accent and hitting sage platitudes with shtetl-flavored zeal. That does not mean, however, that it's a bad performance. There's a confident wisdom and impish cleverness to what Pacino is doing, a sense of fun that comes from watching the wheels spin in this iconic star's head. It's just hard to judge it using traditional metrics of quality.as a whole.
At the same time, FBI agent Millie Malone is working a murder investigation tied to the Nazi conspiracy, which involves the politically powerful Biff Simpson , sociopathic Travis and a mysterious figure played by the great Lena Olin. What are these underground Nazis after? Global domination. These are Nazis we're dealing with.
The show's treatment of Nazis and the Holocaust is another of the places I felt reservations. Auschwitz and Buchenwald are featured flashback locations and a decision has been made to feature atrocities, but fictional atrocities. So many horrifying and specifically inhumanthings were done to people in the Holocaust that it's a strange choice to create new ones.
