What critics compared Nuremberg to
Much closer to Nuremberg is a 2000 TV miniseries, also called Nuremberg, starring Alec Baldwin as Jackson, the American prosecutor, and Brian Cox as Goering.
What is essentially so disappointing about “Nuremberg” is that the tenor and aesthetic of the proceedings isn’t far from a two-part 2000 docudrama of the same title.
…most notably the 2000 mini-series Nuremberg with Alec Baldwin opposite the brilliant Brian Cox as Göring…
Vanderbilt may be a fan of Yves Simoneau’s 2000 telefilm Nuremberg, which starred Alec Baldwin as Jackson and Brian Cox as Göring…
Then there are the scenes involving Kelley’s involvement with Göring’s wife and daughter; he perhaps met them, but the level of his engagement with them here doesn’t feel credible.
Partially that’s because Malek’s performance is intense but dull. The same can be said of Shannon, a fine actor reduced to one-note snarling as Jackson. There’s compensation in Crowe’s flamboyant turn as Göring, and Grant’s amusing contrast to Shannon’s approach as his British colleague. Curiously, similar strengths and weaknesses in casting can be found in the one previous dramatization of the trial, the TNT mini-series “Nuremberg” of 2000.
The first feels much like the last time that Hollywood tried to dramatize the events of the trial of the century, with the 2000 television miniseries, also titled Nuremberg, starring Baldwin as U.S. Supreme Court Justice Robert Jackson and Brian Cox as Adolf Hitler’s second in command Hermann Goring – two well-cast performers going toe to toe in a slick legal thriller that condensed complex history to a respectable degree.
