“Nuremberg” (*** out of four) was a powerfully done historical melodrama set in the midst of WWII in which a U.S. army psychiatrist (Rami Malek) was assigned to investigate and monitor Hermann Goring (Russell Crowe) and became swept away by the ensuing Nuremberg trial involving Robert Jackson (Michael Shannon) and Sir David Maxwell Fyfe (Richard E. Grant) that dominated and destroyed their lives. Not a great film, as film never quite emotionally soars as it could have, but holds you in its grip with its fine acting and storytelling. Film dissipates some of its impact by going on too long but is still definitely worthwhile especially for history buffs.
