Watched this yesterday , ive had it on disc for a few month but never got round to watching it.

Well whats it about ?

Claustrophobic, tense and often riveting, Downfall traps us in Hitler's bunker during the final days of the Third Reich. As the Allies advance on Berlin and the Führer's empire crumbles, lead actor Bruno Ganz gives the great dictator a human face as he struggles with the onset of Parkinson's disease and prepares to take his own life. Controversial in its native Germany, Oliver Hirschbiegel's meticulous film is no sensational shockfest, but a living, breathing historical recreation of Hitler's downfall.

One of the best movies i have ever seen , the lead actor ( Bruno Ganz ) is fantastic in the role of Hitler.
Got some great write ups and reviews in most papers and magazines so i thought it would be over hyped , but it certainly isnt....
