Review of Christina

Christina (2010)
9/10
Fine film, fine script, fine acting.

This is a serious morality play. With only 3 characters, played in a single room, it begins slowly and builds to a gripping climax. The German police inspector and the woman he intends to arrest and deliver to the American authorities for trial are superbly played by Stephen Lang and Nicki Aycox, respectively. The American soldier, well-played by Jordan Belfi, represents American decency, as well as the general naivete of American soldiers in general -- a naivete commented upon by the inspector. Billed as based on actual events, I surmise that it was crafted out of a number of real-life events in Germany after the Russians took over Berlin. I strongly recommend it.
