Despite the always excellent Helen Mirren and the generally good Ryan Reynolds, the non-WW2 portions of the movie feel a bit..emotionally flat.  They definitely try and imbue the quest for reparations for stolen artwork with the Austrian government with a heavy meaning.  But I didn't fully buy into the value and strain of the long legal battle...

The movie has an easier time getting a deeper emotional pull with the WW2 flashbacks.  But then escape from the Nazis is an easier conflict to sell...
