Swept into a deadly plot to assassinate Adolf Hitler, Bonhoeffer (Dassler) faces an impossible choice: stay true to his faith or risk everything to stop a tyrant and save millions of Jewish lives. Starring Dassler, Phileas Heyblom and August Diehl, this drama thriller tells the gripping true story of the brilliant and courageous 39-year-old theologian who dared to stand against Nazism.
Trusted movie industry website Variety was impressed by both the film’s director and lead actor. “Komarnicki skillfully utilizes a time-tripping structure to trace Bonhoeffer’s evolution from pampered child of a well-to-do family to political prisoner held captive in the SS barracks at the Buchenwald concentration camp,” they wrote of Komarnicki. Of Dassler, they said, “Dassler shrewdly portrays Bonhoeffer with carefully calibrated measures of zeal, sincerity, boldness and, on occasion, terror.”
Movieweb also praised Dassler, who they said “superbly emoted” dramatic scenes, such as those while Bonhoeffer is in prison. “This is an unabashed faith-based story, but you don’t have to be religious or a Christian to empathize with its universal themes.”
Rated R-13, Bonhoeffer: Pastor. Spy. Assassin. will be available exclusively at Ayala Malls Cinemas starting March 12
