Imperium

At first, I thought Harry Potter in a tougher role wouldn't suit me, but in the end, it turned out that he wasn't much of a problem at all. But somehow, for a long time, I had trouble believing there was actually a case here. It was there, a bit out of place, which was supposed to be an interesting plot twist, but it didn't quite work out. But it offered an interesting insight into the beliefs that can still exist today.

A decent Neo-Nazi romp starring a fine Daniel Radcliffe, who is tasked with infiltrating a terrorist group of Nazis and racists in order to uncover a bombing. The idea is simple, the story is fairly straightforward and the acting is inoffensive. I wasn't that bored and the film managed to engage me, but after the ending I'm starting to feel a bit that the film didn't evoke as much emotion and tension in me as I would have liked after all. In retrospect, it lacked more pronounced drama and sense of fear for the main character in a strange environment, as well as a more imaginative element, more intrigue and intricacies of the plot (Black Klansman was far better in that regard), but I guess for fans of this sort of thing Imperium should not be a waste of time even.
