The Survivor (2021)
7/10
A Worthwhile Effort
28 April 2022
A remarkable story of survival and the cost thereof.

Ben Foster (Harry Haft) is one of the excellent younger actors. I cannot think of a bad performance from him, and most especially in 'Hell And High Water.' His physical transformation herein and his dead-on accent are remarkable.

Billy Magnussen (Dietrich Schneider) is outstanding as the complicated Nazi who saves Haft's life.

Danny DeVito has a small but impactful role.

John Leguizamo, whom I cannot stand in any role, is not around long enough to ruin anything.

The major problem with the film is Barry Levinson's direction and the editing. The film drags. It is, at least, 30 minutes too long.
