Norman Jewison, he's an sly old fox, you cannot expect him to make an avant- garde/revolutionary movie at this stage, he won't... but his name is synonymous with "quality", and that ain't to be sniffed at.
"The Statement" is such a good suspense movie about an former french soldier which served in Vichy's army and committed some "crimes against the humanity". 50 years after the WWII is over there are a lot of people who want his head: some are afraid of what he may tell to the authorities, some just want to arrest him. There's sort of a critique of Catholic Church's attitude during the Holocaust (how they turned a blind eye to it), and after it (sheltering some Nazis that had a warrant for arrest).
The movie has kind of a classic style, it's been brilliantly filmed and the presence of Michael Caine is nothing but a nice present for all those who love cinema.
*My rate: 7/10
