“Condor’s Nest” (** out of four) was a muddled war melodrama set during the decade after the fall of Nazi Germany in which an idealistic American aviator (Jackson Rathbone) travels to South America in search of war criminals and finds himself in over his head as he encounters various members of the community (Arnold Vosloo, Michael Ironside, Bruce Davison) and finds he doesn’t know who he can trust. Interesting subject matter harks back to Tarantino’s “Inglorious Bastards” except that was a film done with a decent amount of wit and style, whereas this one is scattershot and drab. Some props and war planes used in this film were originally made and developed for 1990’s “Memphis Belle.”
