Downfall Ratings & Reviews
- Donavin WengerOctober 11, 2024Solid WW2 movie about the last days of the Germans in Berlin. Hitler kills himself in this so you can't go wrong with that
- atkins902July 21, 2025This movie makes you an eyewitness to history because it's so well acted. I had seen all the internet memes and wondered where they came from... well worth the time spent in watching.
- probus5May 13, 2025Great movie. Bad people.
- Charles LondonMay 14, 2025Good triumphs over evil. Always a crowd pleaser. What makes this movie different is that we view it entirely from the side of the latter. It's a rather unique POV that works. Spending virtually the entire movie inside Hitler's bunker and amongst his inner circle is as intriguing to the mind as it is unsettling to the soul.
- adam3199June 29, 2025Script, direction, filming, tension....just incredible. Cannot sing its praises high enough.
- TomVaderMay 25, 2025It's slightly unnerving, because you might find yourself sympathetic towards Hitler at times. The movie held my attention, and seemed very real. It's not a movie I wish needed to be made, but it tells a story that I think is important to remember.
