Well, I must admit that with a movie title such as "The Escape From Auschwitz" and it being made in 2020, and having a fairly interesting-looking cover, I must admit that I had some expectations to this movie from writer Bradley Coker and director Terry Lee Coker.
But wow, this was utter rubbish. There were so many things wrong with this movie that it just made for a laughable attempt at making a movie.
First of all, the fact that it appears that the movie is shot in someone's cleared out living room was just atrocious. And the horribly added CGI in the background was just laughable at best. It made for such a bad viewing experience that I swore my eyes would begin to bleed.
Then there was the fact that there was no sense of this taking place in an abysmal and God awful place as Auschwitz, the movie-makers just utter managed to avoid making it have that feel what-so-ever. I guess it was the laughable CGI that did the majority of that, and the fact that the movie had just bad locations for filming.
And the fact that everyone in the movie spoke English, wow. Seriously? In 2020? They didn't even bother to opt for the Germans to speak English with a stereotypical movie German accent. Nah, they just spoke plain and proper English. This fully and wholly stole away so much creditability and believability from the movie. A war movie or a Holocaust-based movie need to have authenticity, and that is something that "The Escape from Auschwitz" didn't have. Believe me.
The acting in the movie was lukewarm and shoddy, as if the actors themselves weren't fully committed to the movie project. It showed on the screen and it made for less than believable characters.
What worked somehow in the movie was the costumes; at least the German uniforms looked adequate. However, the clothes that the Jewish prisoners wore was just too clean, and the make-up department had just failed in making it look like the Jewish prisoners were starved, broken, beaten down and miserable. And that was also something that stole away from the authenticity of the movie.
"The Escape from Auschwitz" is without a doubt the worst of World War II and Holocaust-based movies that I have yet stumbled upon. I should have had checked the movie's rating on IMDb before I delved into it and sat down to watch it.
My rating of the 2020 movie "The Escape from Auschwitz" lands on a one out of ten stars. Yeah, this movie is that bad. Avoid it if you have any proper interest in the World War II events, because this movie is not worth the time, money or effort.
