  The movie "The Statement" is apparently based on a true story, but I didn't get that from watching it. It seems like a movie that doesnt know what it wants to do with itself. It goes one way, then another and so on.
Michael Caine plays a Frenchman who ordered the murder of 7 Jews during WWII. Because of this he is a war crimminal, but he was let go when he was caught, and pardoned at one point. New charges against him surface, but he's been in hiding for decades. Hidden in a collection of safe houses and monistaries. Caine is a fantastic actor, and that is the case in this film. Were it not for him this movie would be a complete failure. It's unclear who the real bad guy in the film is. Is it Caine? Is it some other group? Is it the church?
Is it the Jews? Who the hell knows. At the end the movie is dedicated to the 7 Jews that were murdered and all the others in France that died as well, if that was there goal, a film for them, man did they screw up making it. But, Caine is good, like I said and because of that I give it 2 Lil Billy Connolly's outta 5.
