'Nuremberg' Is a Disappointing Historical Drama That Falls Short of Its Potential

Nuremberg boasts a pair of Oscar-winning leads, a stellar supporting cast of Hollywood stalwarts and addresses holding genocidal Nazis accountable in the most important war crimes trial in human history. You’d think that would be a surefire cinematic bet, but a promising feature falls far short of its potential. Nuremberg is told in a bullet-point, Wikipedia-style narrative with poor exposition connecting critical scenes. A wealth of ensemble talent is wasted on one-note performances that fail to bolster dramatic impact. Russell Crowe does a banner job, as usual, as the despicable Hermann Göring, and cinematographer Dariusz Wolski achieves an appropriately solemn look, but every other aspect is unfortunately lacking.
