Editorial Review:

Description:
Based on the shocking true story of one journalist who risked his life to infiltrate the Neo-Nazi gangs of present day Germany. What he found there - including ties to US white supremacists - makes for a powerful, high-risk thriller.

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - ok so the movie is not that believable- but the message is clear neo-nazis are taking control!!
I just seen the movie in Max Prime, and I sure can relate to the reviewers who said that the choise of actor and weakness in the plot make this unbelievable- but lets focus on substance! neo-nazis have taken over, be it white supremacist in the US (from KK to who knows what), actual neo-puristanist at the white house or the fact that Germany is reacting to its loss at II WW.. to make matter worst, we have the perfect excuse of the terrorist act of 09/11 enforced by a patriot Act that places all powers ...

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great movie, wrong choice for main character.
Based on a true story, Yaron Svoray (Oliver Platt) an Israeli freelance journalist goes to Germany to write an article about the rising Neo Nazi movement. While visiting a Turkish refugee camp a gang of skinheads attack. When the police arrive, he is mistakenly arrested which gives the skinheads the impression that he is a sympathiser for the Nazi cause. I can't see this part as being believable. It's one thing to try and "hang out" with the skinheads but it's very, very unlikely that some new guy is ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - TRUE - TRUER THAN WE WANT TO BELIEVE
The person from Seattle, WA must have been sleeping during the film and if he does not believe these things happen he lives in a fantasy world. The following reviews says it all.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Badly acted film with Ridiculous Scenario
I give this film 2 stars for a few interesting scenes. Based on the book, In Hitler's Shadow, a journal of a German-Isreali who went "undercover" in the Neo-Nazi movement of Germany. The book itself is a bit ridiculous, as it tells how the author, Yaron Svoray (Oliver Platt) contacted the Wiesenthal Center to "infiltrate" the Berlin Neo-Nazis. What we see are basically a gang of thugs beating up Turks, and in order not to "blow his cover" he doesn't stop them. How despicable to let your friends get beat ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Passionate true account of journalist turned Nazi-Hunter.
Based on the true story of Yaron Svoray, an Israeli freelancereporter living in the US. "The Infiltrator" recounts Svoray'sinfiltration of Nazi-sympathizers in Germany and beyond.

Oliver Platt plays Svoray, and does a good job in a very serious role. But Svoray's self-imposed mission, with the cooperation and support of the Wiesenthal Center is a Bunyonesques task, and, he is somewhat ill-equipped. If the film initially is to show us how direct exposure to the atrocities of Nazism might fuel unbridled ... Read More
