The movie is about Kurt Gersteein. He is a Waffen-SS officer employed in the SS Hygiene Institute. He is shocked when he knows that the process he has developed is now being used to kill Jews. He tries to inform Pope Pius XII about Jews who is sent to concentration camps. Only Young Jesuit priest Ricardo Fontana helps him.

Though Costa-Gavras brings nothing new to the table about the Holocaust, he puts another nail down in the argument that the world could have acted but didn't because of indifference.

It's so inert, so slow-moving that it seems at least twice as long as it really is, and it manages to waste a potentially fascinating premise.
April 11, 2003
What should have been agonizing in its impact comes off as wooden, perhaps because Costa-Gavras works in schematic fashion, spoon-feeding us issues while skimming the historical surface.

Extremely heavy-handed, almost comically repetitious, and way too long.

Costa-Gavras often shortchanges the story's inherent drama for talky and strident speechifying.

Tukur's performance is the centerpiece of the movie; it's a wonderful mixture of outrage and swiftly disappearing naivete.

Though such elements might chip away somewhat at Amen's seriousness of intent, they do add fire to the stimulating drama.

Costa-Gavras' political thrillers used to jab and thrust with lethal efficiency. This one just pounds against a heavy bag, huffing and puffing all the way.
July 25, 2003
Costa-Gavras deserves credit for staying the course; in a time when most European film directors are wringing their hands, he's still pointing fingers.

In a remarkably subtle turn, the German Tukur is convincing as [Gerstein].
