Christian Science Monitor Peter Rainer
A richly layered portrait emerges of a man steeled not so much for revenge as for justice.

TV Guide Ken Fox
Wiesenthal comes across as a fascinating man who combined a sense of moral purpose with enormous humanity and humor; the recounting of his tireless pursuits are as gripping as any thriller.

Village Voice Julia Wallace
Celebrity narration (by Nicole Kidman) and deft filmmaking necessarily take a backseat here to the anger, grief, and incongruous good humor of the man himself.

Entertainment Weekly Owen Gleiberman
A homespun portrait of the diligent and revered Nazi-hunter.

New York Daily News Elizabeth Weitzman
It never feels overly reverent or superficial. In fact, director Richard Trank seamlessly blends old footage, new interviews and well-written narration into a straightforward but gripping chronicle balanced so far on the edges of horror and heroism that you may, just briefly, have a hard time believing it after all.

San Francisco Chronicle Tamara Straus
Does a solid job.

LA Weekly Ella Taylor
Nicole Kidman’s breathily reverential voice-over only irritates, in large measure because Wiesenthal, who died in 2005 but appears in copious interview footage, speaks so eloquently for himself.

Los Angeles Times Lael Loewenstein
Humanizes rather than lionizes Wiesenthal.

Variety Russell Edwards
It solidly details the man's eventful life and sacred mission with a balanced air.

The Hollywood Reporter Ray Bennett
The important thing is that the film has been made so that future generations might watch it and point to Wiesenthal and say, "Now there was a man."

Chicago Tribune Maureen M. Hart
More objective filmmakers might have delved a little deeper and produced something more real.

The New York Times Matt Zoller Seitz
Every key moment is drowned by a score that screams "Weep!" and "Shudder!" The aesthetic apes that of "Schindler's List," but so crudely that the results come perilously close to Holocaust kitsch. Mr. Trank has made a compelling film on a powerful subject, but he doesn't trust audiences to feel for themselves.
