Jaguar

Jaguar: Spain, 1962, a lone wolf holocaust survivor intent on killing the ex-SS officer who murdered her father is persuaded to play the longer game by a team of nazi hunters. Their target is a more senior nazi, Dr Aribert Heimt a real life character who was known as the Butcher of Mauthausen. This is a fictional series but it is inspired by the reality hat 40,000 nazis settled in Spain after WW2, protected by the Francoist regime, most of hem didn't even change their surnames. There are flashbacks to what happened in the camps during the war, how the team got together. Very much an action series but one tempered by the reality the necessity of surveillance and security. Also the team each have their personal demons that they have to deal with. Not just survivors guilt but also some had to do in order to live through the Holocaust. Some great shootouts and hand to hand fighting, even dark humour. Created by Ramón Campos and Gema R. Neira. On netflix 8/10.

Here we go again with a motley crew of Nazi hunters and the compulsory, strong and fierce female lead. Shame that the acting and editing is so cartoonish, because the idea to expose the Fascist Spanish government of the 60s and its protection of Nazis is a good one.

Unfortunately the said female lead acts like the misplaced model she must be. Asked to step off the catwalk and pretend to be cool-hearted killer she's totally out of her depth. Totally, hopelessly unconvincing.

Pretty good acting, good story, great dialogue, very believable props and scenery. But everybody seems to have turned on the 'infinite ammo' cheat, and it ruins everything. Most pistols have a 7-10 round capacity, but here everyone shoots twice that or more, and you just keep waiting for them to reload. It makes it very unrealistic.

I have a mix feeling about it. A lot of scenes seemed too amateur... like they survived hitting the ship! But the story is OK, entertains Could have been better made. One thing I didn't know is those nazis lived with no problem in Spain, as if nothing has happened! That is so strange!!!World War II, holocaust stories have been told many times and so many movies/series have been made about it. I wish there were other Hollywood made movies/series from other sides of the WWar II like the Asian side of the story or crimes of Stalin or other dictators during those times. Even the American wrong doings such as atomic bomb....- WW2 by far has been told and thought more than World War I....

Some of the reviews pointed out some valid points. However, as far as Bianca is concerned you should consider that her character had, as a young child in the camp, seen her father killed, her brother had been killed and she had been traumatized by life in a concentration camp. She had learned to turn her emotions off to develop a poker face to hide her inner thoughts and feelings. If you looked into her eyes you could see the blind determination to survive and seek revenge at all costs, in other words she had tunnel vision with one purpose in her mind at all times. I thought the movie did a good job in slowly delving into the characters lives as it related to their personal experiences with nazis and peeled off the layers that had brought them to where they were. Also keep in mind that you have to look beyond North American films and keep in mind the nationality of the movie. I watch a lot of foreign films and you have to look out of your culture.
