Oct 11, 2007 · Xan Brooks. Thu 11 Oct 2007 19.06 EDT. T he Counterfeiters is a flawed but fascinating film about a Nazi plot to flood the allied economies with bogus banknotes.

Its interesting exploration of adaptation and survival under extreme circumstances makes for an engaging story, and one that is definitely worth seeking out. 144 out of 161 found this helpful.
